What to know about fire shutters in Urmston

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.

Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

What's included

  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent

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 Urmston

Do you cover Urmston?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Urmston and the M41 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
