Choosing fire shutters for premises in Gateshead

They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter.

Features to choose from

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

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Gateshead?

Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Gateshead. We also cover nearby Wallsend, Hebburn and Jarrow.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
