What to know about fire shutters in Rochester

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.

Specification options

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

Where we work around Rochester

We cover Rochester and the surrounding ME1 district as part of our work across Kent. Rochester is around 8 miles from Maidstone, and we also cover nearby Chatham, Strood and Gillingham.

Rules in England

Electrical work

Electric shutters are wired to BS 7671, the IET Wiring Regulations. In homes in England, new circuits are notifiable under Part P of the Building Regulations, so the work is done by a registered electrician who can self-certify it, or notified to building control.

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.

Questions about fire shutters in Rochester

Do you cover Rochester?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Rochester and the ME1 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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
