What to know about fire shutters in Bedford

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.

What's included

  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Bedford?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bedford. We also cover nearby Ampthill, St Neots and Rushden.

Will a fire shutter close in a power cut?

Fire shutters are designed to close on loss of power or on a fire signal, usually by gravity with a governed speed, so they fail safe.

How often should a fire shutter be tested?

Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, so they must be kept in working order. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for a drop test and service at least once a year, and more often where they are used heavily.

What rating do I need?

The rating must match the fire-resisting wall the shutter is in, which is set by the building's fire strategy or fire risk assessment. We work from that, or from your fire engineer's specification.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

What warranty do I get?

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