How fire shutters work, and what to ask for
Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. Fire shutters are common in kitchens, serveries, plant rooms, warehouses and openings between compartments.
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.
Specification options
- Counter, hatch and large-opening versions
- Commissioning and drop test on handover
- Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
- Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
- Alarm-linked closing with fusible link backup
- Manufacturer's test evidence and certification

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 Houghton-le-Spring?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Houghton-le-Spring and the DH4 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.
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.
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.
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.
