Fire shutters in Runcorn: the essentials
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.
Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.
What's included
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Governed closing speed for safety

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.

Questions about fire shutters in Runcorn
Do you cover Runcorn?
Yes. Runcorn (WA7) is within our Cheshire coverage, along with nearby Widnes, Halewood and Huyton.
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.
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.
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.
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.
