How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.
A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.
Options we can specify
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

Fire shutters: common questions
Do you cover Ellesmere Port?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ellesmere Port. We also cover nearby Chester, Halewood and Bebington.
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 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.
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.
