What to know about fire shutters in Watford
Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.
Specification options
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Watford?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Watford. We also cover nearby Bushey, Rickmansworth and Borehamwood.
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.
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 warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
