Choosing fire shutters for premises in Harwich

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

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.

Specification options

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

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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

Before you book in Harwich

Do you cover Harwich?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Harwich and the CO12 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
