Our fire-rated roller shutters service in Edinburgh
Conveyor openings, kitchen hatches and doors between warehouse compartments are typical places a fire shutter is needed in commercial buildings in Edinburgh.
The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product, so every fire shutter we quote in Edinburgh comes with that product's test evidence.
Edinburgh is part of our Edinburgh & the Lothians coverage, and addresses in the city's postcode districts are covered in the same way as the rest of Edinburgh & the Lothians. We also cover Dalkeith, Musselburgh and Kirkcaldy, so premises in more than one of these places can be quoted together.

What to check in Edinburgh before ordering
Edinburgh is in Scotland, so planning decisions sit with 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.
- 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.
- 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.
