Fire shutters in Prestwich: the essentials

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.

Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Features to choose from

  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Prestwich

Do you cover Prestwich?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Prestwich. We also cover nearby Whitefield, Radcliffe and Salford.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
