Fire shutters in Atherton: the essentials
Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. 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. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.
Features to choose from
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

Before you book in Atherton
Do you cover Atherton?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Atherton. We also cover nearby Tyldesley, Westhoughton and Leigh.
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.
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.
