How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.

Features to choose from

  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions

Slough and surrounding towns

Slough sits in Berkshire, roughly 17 miles from Reading. Whether the job is in the SL1 district or nearby Windsor, Maidenhead and Gerrards Cross, the survey and quote work the same way.

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Slough?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Slough and the SL1 district, as part of our coverage across Berkshire.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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