Choosing fire shutters for premises in Herne Bay

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.

Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Specification options

  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions

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.

Before you book in Herne Bay

Do you cover Herne Bay?

Yes. Herne Bay (CT6) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Whitstable, Canterbury and Faversham.

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.

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 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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
