What to know about fire shutters in Bristol
The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.
What's included
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Governed closing speed for safety

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.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
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.

Questions about fire shutters in Bristol
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
