Choosing fire shutters for premises in Maidstone

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

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

  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Maidstone?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Maidstone. We also cover nearby Chatham, Rochester and Gillingham.

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.

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 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.

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.
