How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.

What's included

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification

Rules in England

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Seaham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Seaham and the SR7 district, as part of our coverage across County Durham.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
