What to know about fire shutters in Whitehaven

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • 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.

Questions about fire shutters in Whitehaven

Do you cover Whitehaven?

Yes. Whitehaven (CA28) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with nearby Workington.

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.

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.

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.

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.
