How fire shutters work, and what to ask for

Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter.

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.

Specification options

  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • 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

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Wigston?

Yes. Wigston (LE18) is within our Leicestershire coverage, along with nearby Oadby, Market Harborough and Hinckley.

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.

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.

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 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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

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