What to know about fire shutters in Downpatrick
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.
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.
Features to choose from
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Governed closing speed for safety

Rules in Northern Ireland
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.

Before you book in Downpatrick
Do you cover Downpatrick?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Downpatrick. We also cover nearby Newtownards, Lisburn and Belfast.
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 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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
