How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.
A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.
Features to choose from
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Governed closing speed for safety
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Commissioning and drop test on handover

Rules in England
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.

Before you book in Hexham
Do you cover Hexham?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Hexham and the NE46 district, as part of our coverage across Northumberland.
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.
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.
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.
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.
