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. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.
Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.
Features to choose from
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Dukinfield?
Yes. Dukinfield (SK16) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Ashton-under-Lyne, Stalybridge and Hyde.
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.
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.
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.
