What to know about fire shutters in Durham

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

What's included

  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

Rules in England

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.

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.

Questions about fire shutters in Durham

Do you cover Durham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Durham and the DH1 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
