Fire shutters in Falkirk: the essentials
Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.
Specification options
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions

Before you book in Falkirk
Do you cover Falkirk?
Yes. Falkirk (FK1) is within our Forth Valley coverage, along with nearby Alloa, Cumbernauld and Bathgate.
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.
What rating do I need?
The rating must match the fire-resisting wall the shutter is in, which is set by the building's fire strategy or fire risk assessment. We work from that, or from your fire engineer's specification.
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.
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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
