Fire-rated roller shutters in Bexhill-on-Sea: questions
Who is responsible for maintaining fire shutters?
The person responsible for fire safety in the building: the responsible person in England and Wales, the duty holder in Scotland or the appropriate person in Northern Ireland.
Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?
Fire shutters are designed to fail safe, closing under gravity at a controlled speed when the release is triggered or power is lost, depending on the system.
How much do fire-rated roller shutters cost in Bexhill-on-Sea?
The guide prices above apply in Bexhill-on-Sea. Your exact price depends on size, finish, controls and access, and is fixed in writing after survey.
Do I need permission for fire-rated roller shutters in Bexhill-on-Sea?
Possibly. A fire shutter must suit the building's fire strategy, and fire shutters forming part of building work need building control approval (a building warrant in Scotland). We recommend checking with your local council first.
