What we fit in Wakefield
- Daily-use models. Where needed, the shutter can be motorised for daily traffic and still close on alarm.
- Alarm interface. Release linked to the fire alarm and designed to BS 7273-4.
- Tested products. Every shutter comes with its maker's furnace test or assessment evidence and performance declaration.
- Fail-safe closing. Controlled descent on alarm or power loss, with governor speed control.
- Records. Commissioning and drop test records handed over for the fire safety file.
Jobs we can carry out
- Fitting a 120-minute fire shutter to a conveyor opening between production and storage compartments, released by the fire alarm.
- 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.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Wakefield?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Planning the work around your site
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about fire shutters
How long does fire shutter installation take at a Wakefield 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.
Do you service fire shutters across West Yorkshire?
Yes. We service and drop-test fire shutters across West Yorkshire, including most makes we did not install, and provide a written report for each shutter. Servicing visits are chargeable at a fixed price per shutter.
Can you link a fire shutter to our existing alarm in Wakefield?
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.
