Counter & hatch shutters in Ipswich: the essentials
Locks can be fitted at the bottom rail or into the counter, and keyed alike with other shutters. Fire-rated counter shutters need the same regular testing as larger fire shutters.
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.
What's included
- Bottom-rail or counter locks
- Face or reveal fixing
- Slim laths and compact box
- Aluminium, steel and timber-effect finishes
- Manual or electric operation
- Keyed-alike locking options

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 Ipswich?
Yes. Ipswich (IP1) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Harwich, Felixstowe and Stowmarket.
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.
Can counter shutters be keyed alike?
Yes, the locks can be keyed alike so one key opens several shutters.
What details help you quote quickly?
The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
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.
