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. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

What's included

  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant

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.

Questions about fire shutters in Bootle

Do you cover Bootle?

Yes. Bootle (L20) is within our Merseyside coverage, along with nearby Litherland, Wallasey and Maghull.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
