How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. 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.
Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.
Specification options
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup

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.
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
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
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 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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
