Fire shutters in Walkden: the essentials

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

Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.

Options we can specify

  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • 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.

    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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Walkden?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Walkden. We also cover nearby Farnworth, Swinton and Tyldesley.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
