How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.
Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.
Features to choose from
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Ilford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ilford. We also cover nearby Barking, Becontree and Leytonstone.
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.
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.
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.
