Fire shutters in Penarth: the essentials

A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. 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

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

Rules in Wales

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Penarth?

Yes. Penarth (CF64) is within our South Glamorgan coverage, along with nearby Barry, Caerphilly and Risca.

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.

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 repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
