What to know about fire shutters in Plymouth

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.

What's included

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

Where we work around Plymouth

We cover Plymouth and the PL2 district as part of Devon. Island and remote locations are covered by arrangement, so ask about lead times when you get in touch.

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Plymouth?

Yes. Plymouth (PL2) is within our Devon coverage, along with the rest of Devon.

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.

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.

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.
