What to know about fire shutters in Sunderland

Product certification and test evidence come from the manufacturer, and we provide the documentation with the shutter. Counter-height fire shutters protect serving hatches and kitchen pass-throughs.

Fire shutters are tested as complete assemblies, and their fire resistance is quoted in minutes for integrity and, where needed, insulation. Fail-safe or gravity-closing designs let the curtain descend even if the power fails during a fire.

Specification options

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

Where we work around Sunderland

Sunderland sits in Tyne and Wear, roughly 10 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. Whether the job is in the SR1 district or nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring, the survey and quote work the same way.

Rules in England

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.

Before you book in Sunderland

Do you cover Sunderland?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Sunderland and the SR1 district, as part of our coverage across Tyne and Wear.

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.

What warranty do I get?

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

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
