How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.
Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.
Specification options
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Governed closing speed for safety

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.

Fire shutters: common questions
Do you cover Basildon?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Basildon and the SS14 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.
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.
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 repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
