Choosing fire shutters for premises in Chester

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.

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.

Specification options

  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • 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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Chester?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chester. We also cover nearby Ellesmere Port, Halewood and Bebington.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
