- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Questions about fire-rated roller shutters in Feltham
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 Feltham?
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 local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
