What to know about fire shutters in Stowmarket

The rating has to match the fire strategy for the wall the shutter sits in, which is set by the building's fire design. Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation.

Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments. Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering.

Specification options

  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Planned servicing to keep it compliant
  • Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover

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.

Questions about fire shutters in Stowmarket

Do you cover Stowmarket?

Yes. Stowmarket (IP14) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury and Thetford.

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.

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 warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
