Choosing fire shutters for premises in Gillingham

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

Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

Specification options

  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • 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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Gillingham?

Yes. Gillingham (ME7) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood.

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.

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 work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

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.
