Fire shutters in Formby: the essentials

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.

Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly. The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design.

Specification options

  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • 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 Formby?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Formby and the L37 district, as part of our coverage across Merseyside.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
