Fire shutters in Hitchin: the essentials

Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.

Specification options

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

Rules in England

Safety of powered shutters

Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.

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 Hitchin

Do you cover Hitchin?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Hitchin and the SG4 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.

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.

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.

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.

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.
