Fire shutters in Margate: the essentials

Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. 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

  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • 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.

Questions about fire shutters in Margate

Do you cover Margate?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Margate. We also cover nearby Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Deal.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

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.
