Choosing counter & hatch shutters for premises in Cumbria

Schools, hospitals and canteens use counter shutters to close servery areas between meals. Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters. Satin-anodised aluminium is easy to keep clean in kitchens and food areas.

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.

What's included

  • Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
  • Bottom-rail or counter locks
  • Face or reveal fixing
  • Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Easy-clean finishes for kitchens

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.

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 Cumbria

Can a bar shutter look like wood?

Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
