Choosing fire shutters for premises in Lerwick
They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.
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.
Features to choose from
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

Before you book in Lerwick
Do you cover Lerwick?
Yes. Lerwick (ZE1) is within our Highlands & Islands coverage, along with the rest of Highlands & Islands.
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.
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 you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
