What to specify
- Alarm interface. We agree the cause-and-effect with your alarm contractor and prove the release at commissioning.
- Fail-safe closing. If the alarm sounds or the power goes, the shutter drops at a governed speed and closes the opening.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Warning devices. Sounders and beacons to warn people before and during descent.
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fire-stopping the head and jambs of a replacement shutter exactly to the manufacturer's installation details.
- Coordinating commissioning with the fire alarm contractor so the shutter release is proven during the same visit.
- Fitting battery back-up, a beacon and a sounder to a new fire shutter on a service corridor.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Wolverhampton
In England, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Wolverhampton is by the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
For busy sites in the West Midlands the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Frequently asked questions
Who maintains a fire shutter at our Wolverhampton premises?
The person in control of the premises: the responsible person in England and Wales, the dutyholder in Scotland, or in Northern Ireland the person with fire safety duties. Check your lease to see whether landlord or tenant arranges servicing.
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Wolverhampton?
Usually, yes. We work with your fire alarm contractor to agree the cause-and-effect and the interface, designed to BS 7273-4, and prove the shutter closes on the alarm signal at commissioning.
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Wolverhampton site?
A single shutter is typically fitted in one to two days, with commissioning and alarm testing on top. Lead times for fire-rated products are confirmed with the quote, and work is planned around your operations.
