Planning and safety in Canary Wharf
As an English town, Canary Wharf follows the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 and the permitted development rules in England.
- 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.
- 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, 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.

Fire-rated roller shutters in Canary Wharf: questions
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.
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.
Do you cover Canary Wharf?
Yes, we survey and fit in Canary Wharf (E14) as part of our Greater London coverage.
Do I need permission for fire-rated roller shutters in Canary Wharf?
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.
