What to check in Forres before ordering
In Forres, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- Certification: We supply the manufacturer's test or certification evidence for the product we quote. We do not claim a rating on our own behalf.
- Your duties: In Scotland, the duty holder under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 must keep fire safety measures maintained.
- Approvals: Where a fire shutter forms part of building work, such as a new or altered opening in a compartment wall, a building warrant from the council's building standards service is normally needed before work starts.
- Alarm link: Linking a shutter to the fire alarm is coordinated with your alarm contractor so the shutter closes on the right signal; shutters across escape routes are normally released by local heat detection.
