Fire shutters in Dover: the essentials

Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.

Features to choose from

  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Dover?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Dover and the CT16 district, as part of our coverage across Kent.

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.

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 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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
