What to know about fire shutters in Golborne

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.

Specification options

  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Golborne?

Yes. Golborne (WA3) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Newton-le-Willows, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Leigh.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.

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.
