Rules that apply in Glasgow
Glasgow 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.
- 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.

Fire-rated roller shutters in Glasgow: questions
How often should a fire shutter be tested?
Manufacturers and guidance such as BS 9999 recommend servicing at least once a year, including a drop test. Busy sites or insurers may ask for more often.
What does a fire rating mean?
It is the time the tested shutter held back fire in a standard furnace test. The rating applies to the tested product installed as its manufacturer specifies.
Do I need permission for fire-rated roller shutters in Glasgow?
It depends on the property. 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). Check with your council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
Is the survey free in Glasgow?
Yes, surveys for new installations in Glasgow are free. Repair and service visits are charged.
