How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.
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.
Options we can specify
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Commissioning and drop test on handover

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.

Before you book in Dunstable
Do you cover Dunstable?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Dunstable and the LU6 district, as part of our coverage across Bedfordshire.
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 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.
Do you certify fire shutters?
The fire rating belongs to the manufacturer's tested product. We supply certified shutters with their documentation and install them to the manufacturer's instructions.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
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.
