How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
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.
Features to choose from
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Governed closing speed for safety

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.

Before you book in Stanley
Do you cover Stanley?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Stanley and the DH9 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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
