When and where are Fire Roller Shutters required? In 1666, there was no such thing as a fire roller shutter. Had there been, Thomas Farriner's bakery might not have been the source of the inferno they quickly dubbed The Great Fire of London.
Can you guarantee the fire doors you're responsible for aren't propped open without your knowledge?
Here's how you can stop that niggle by combining convenience with safety!

For that, you need a Fire Roller Shutter.
We all know that fire safety is important. But what happens when you bend the rules? Is an open fire door really a big problem?
In this blog post, we'll explore the risks of an open fire door and what you should and shouldn't do when propping them open.
We'll start with the basics...
The Buildings Manager from a Dartford theatre contacted us. He wanted to talk about the theatre's fire doors.
The manager at a local gym in Southend-on-Sea approached us about their emergency exit doors. During our site survey, we found that two of the wooden emergency exit doors had reached the end of their life.
The business manager and site team at a school in the London Borough of Havering approached us. They were looking for a certified company to maintain their Fire Doors. Maintaining and ensuring the function and compliance of door sets is a crucial part of fire safety.
A Fire Risk Assessment for a house that had been split into two flats highlighted an issue. So a local letting agent approached Blake’s to see if we could help.
The Fire Risk Assessor had flagged a potential risk. There were gaps where the electrical services entered the consumer unit.
