How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

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

Options we can specify

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Harpenden?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Harpenden. We also cover nearby St Albans, Luton and Hemel Hempstead.

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.

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.

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 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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
