Fire shutters in Chester-le-Street: the essentials
They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.
What's included
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant

Rules in England

Fire shutters: common questions
Do you cover Chester-le-Street?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Chester-le-Street. We also cover nearby Washington, Houghton-le-Spring and Stanley.
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 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.
Do you work with landlords and managing agents?
Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
