Fire shutters in South Yorkshire: the essentials
They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. A fire shutter that sticks or closes too slowly may not protect the opening, which is why drop tests matter. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.
The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Because they are part of the building's fire precautions, they must be maintained and tested regularly.
Specification options
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Planned servicing to keep it compliant
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Governed closing speed for safety

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.

Questions about fire shutters in South Yorkshire
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.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
