Fire shutters in Derby: the essentials

Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

Questions about fire shutters in Derby

Do you cover Derby?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Derby and the DE1 district, as part of our coverage across Derbyshire.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
