Fire shutters in Skelmersdale: the essentials

Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

Specification options

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

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Skelmersdale?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Skelmersdale and the WN8 district, as part of our coverage across Lancashire.

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 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 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.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
