How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.

Specification options

  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • 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.

  3. You approve a fixed price

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

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

Before you book in Loughton

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.

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.

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.
