Counter & hatch shutters in Leicester: the essentials
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.
Counter shutters can be face-fixed in front of the opening or fitted between the reveals. Most are manual, lifted and locked by hand, with electric operation available on wider counters.
Features to choose from
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Slim laths and compact box
- Easy-clean finishes for kitchens
- Manual or electric operation
- Keyed-alike locking options
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Leicester?
Yes. Leicester (LE1) is within our Leicestershire coverage, along with nearby Oadby, Wigston and Loughborough.
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.
Can a bar shutter look like wood?
Yes. Timber-effect and powder-coated finishes are available so the shutter suits the bar.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Can you fit outside trading hours?
Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
