How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.
Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.
Options we can specify
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Commissioning and drop test on handover

Questions about fire shutters in Newton-le-Willows
Do you cover Newton-le-Willows?
Yes. Newton-le-Willows (WA12) is within our Merseyside coverage, along with nearby Golborne, Ashton-in-Makerfield and Warrington.
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.
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.
Do your guide prices include VAT?
Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
