What to know about fire shutters in Chelmsford
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.
They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.
What's included
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Chelmsford?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Chelmsford and the CM1 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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
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.
