Planning and safety in Blairgowrie
In Blairgowrie, as elsewhere in Scotland, planning questions go to your planning authority (the local council, or a national park authority).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for maintaining fire shutters?
The person responsible for fire safety in the building: the responsible person in England and Wales, the duty holder in Scotland or the appropriate person in Northern Ireland.
Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?
Fire shutters are designed to fail safe, closing under gravity at a controlled speed when the release is triggered or power is lost, depending on the system.
Is the survey free in Blairgowrie?
Yes, for new installations. We tell you the cost of any repair or service visit before booking.
Do I need permission for fire-rated roller shutters in Blairgowrie?
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 council first.
