How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.

Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.

Features to choose from

  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Before you book in Reading

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.

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.

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 repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
