What to know about fire shutters in Didcot

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.

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Specification options

  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Didcot?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Didcot and the OX11 district, as part of our coverage across Oxfordshire.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

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.
