Our fire-rated roller shutters service in Kendal
For reference, Kendal lies about 40 miles south of Carlisle.
If a fire shutter at your premises in Kendal has not been drop-tested in the last year, a service visit can check it, record the result and tell you what it needs.
We work with your fire alarm contractor in Kendal so the shutter closes on the right signal and the interface is tested at handover.
We cover Kendal and the LA9 postcode district as part of Cumbria; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Morecambe, Lancaster and Penrith are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

What to check in Kendal before ordering
Kendal is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
