Choosing fire shutters for premises in Portishead

Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.

Features to choose from

  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification

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.

Fire shutters: common questions

Do you cover Portishead?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Portishead and the BS20 district, as part of our coverage across Somerset.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

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.
