Counter & hatch shutters in Hitchin: the essentials

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

Bars and pubs often choose timber-effect or powder-coated shutters that suit the interior. Where the hatch is in a fire-resisting wall, a fire-rated counter shutter keeps the wall's protection.

Specification options

  • Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
  • Manual or electric operation
  • Slim laths and compact box
  • Face or reveal fixing
  • Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
  • Bottom-rail or counter locks

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 Hitchin

Do you cover Hitchin?

Yes. Hitchin (SG4) is within our Hertfordshire coverage, along with nearby Letchworth Garden City, Stevenage and Luton.

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 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.

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.

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.
