Fitting fire-rated roller shutters in Huntingdon
Huntingdon is roughly 17 miles south of Peterborough.
The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so every fire shutter we quote in Huntingdon comes with that product's test evidence.
Fire shutters for buildings in Huntingdon are specified from the fire strategy: the rating, the release method and how the shutter links to the alarm.
We cover Huntingdon and the PE29 postcode district as part of Cambridgeshire; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. St Neots, Cambridge and Peterborough are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Planning and safety in Huntingdon
In Huntingdon, as elsewhere in England, planning questions go to your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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 England and Wales, the responsible person under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 must keep fire safety equipment, including fire shutters, maintained in good working order.
- Approvals: Where a fire shutter forms part of building work, such as a new or altered opening in a compartment wall, building control approval is needed, from the council or a registered building control approver.
- 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.
