What to know about fire shutters in Bideford

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

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Options we can specify

  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Bideford?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Bideford. We also cover nearby Barnstaple.

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 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 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.

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.
