How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

Features to choose from

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Governed closing speed for safety

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 Ashford (Kent)

Do you cover Ashford (Kent)?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Ashford (Kent). We also cover nearby Faversham, Canterbury and Folkestone.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
