Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Bishop Auckland?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair counter & hatch shutters in Bishop Auckland and the DL14 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
