Choosing fire shutters for premises in Hemel Hempstead
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.
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.
Specification options
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss

Questions about fire shutters in Hemel Hempstead
Do you cover Hemel Hempstead?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Hemel Hempstead. We also cover nearby Berkhamsted, St Albans and Harpenden.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
