Choosing counter & hatch shutters for premises in Reading
Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space. Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection.
Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters. Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals.
What's included
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
- Slim laths and compact box
- Face or reveal fixing

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

Before you book in Reading
Do you cover Reading?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair counter & hatch shutters in Reading and the RG1 district, as part of our coverage across Berkshire.
Can counter shutters be keyed alike?
Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.
Are counter shutters manual?
Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.
Does my kitchen hatch need a fire-rated shutter?
If the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, the opening must not weaken it, so a fire-rated counter shutter is usually needed. Your fire risk assessment or fire strategy will say.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
