How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

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.

Specification options

  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

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.

Questions about fire shutters in St Albans

Do you cover St Albans?

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

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.

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.
