How counter & hatch shutters work, and what to ask for

Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior. Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals.

Counter shutters use slim laths and a compact box so they fit above a hatch without taking much space. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.

Features to choose from

  • Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Slim laths and compact box
  • Face or reveal fixing
  • Fire-rated versions for compartment walls
  • Keyed-alike locking options

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Colchester

Do you cover Colchester?

Yes. Colchester (CO1) is within our Essex coverage, along with nearby Sudbury, Clacton-on-Sea and Witham.

Can a bar shutter look like wood?

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

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.

Are counter shutters manual?

Most are manual and spring balanced. Wider counters can be motorised.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
