Our fire-rated roller shutters service in Stamford
Stamford sits some 40 miles to the south of Lincoln.
Fire shutters for buildings in Stamford are specified from the fire strategy: the rating, the release method and how the shutter links to the alarm.
We work with your fire alarm contractor in Stamford so the shutter closes on the right signal and the interface is tested at handover.
We cover Stamford and the PE9 postcode district as part of Lincolnshire; you book a survey here exactly as you would anywhere else. Oakham, Uppingham and Peterborough are covered too, which helps when several properties need doing.

Rules that apply in Stamford
Stamford is in England, so planning decisions sit with your local planning authority (the district, borough, city or unitary council).
- 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 Stamford: 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 Stamford?
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.
