Choosing fire shutters for premises in Fife
Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.
Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.
Options we can specify
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification

Rules in Scotland
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In Scotland the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require the duty holder to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained in efficient working order and good repair.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
Electrical work
Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In Scotland electrical work in buildings must also meet the Scottish building standards, and is carried out and certified by a qualified electrician.

Your questions answered
How often should a fire shutter be tested?
Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, so they must be kept in working order. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for a drop test and service at least once a year, and more often where they are used heavily.
Do you certify fire shutters?
The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We supply certified shutters with their documentation and install them to the manufacturer's instructions.
Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?
Fire shutters are designed to close on loss of power or on a fire signal, usually by gravity with a governed speed, so they fail safe.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
