Fire shutters in Darwen: the essentials
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.
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.
Options we can specify
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Governed closing speed for safety

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Darwen?
Yes. Darwen (BB3) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Blackburn, Accrington and Chorley.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
