What to know about fire shutters in Bournemouth

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

What's included

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Bournemouth?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Bournemouth and the BH1 district, as part of our coverage across Dorset.

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 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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
