Choosing fire shutters for premises in Bishop Auckland

Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.

What's included

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Bishop Auckland?

Yes. Bishop Auckland (DL14) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Newton Aycliffe, Durham and Chester-le-Street.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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