How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
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.
Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.
Features to choose from
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant

Your questions answered
Do you cover Elgin?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Elgin. We also cover the rest of Grampian.
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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
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.
