Fire shutters in Grampian: the essentials
The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.
Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.
Features to choose from
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Governed closing speed for safety

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.

Questions about fire shutters in Grampian
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.
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.
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.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
