Fire shutters in Tipton: the essentials

Escape routes and the effect of the shutter closing are checked against the fire strategy before ordering. 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. They are usually linked to the fire alarm, and many also have a fusible link that releases the curtain in heat.

What's included

  • Fire resistance from 60 to 240 minutes, product dependent
  • Manufacturer's test evidence and certification
  • Governed closing speed for safety
  • Fail-safe or gravity closing on power loss
  • Commissioning and drop test on handover
  • Counter, hatch and large-opening versions

Rules in England

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.

How it works

  1. Send the details

    Give us the postcode, approximate width and height, and what the shutter is protecting.

  2. We survey the opening

    An engineer measures and checks the fixings, power and any planning constraints.

  3. You approve a fixed price

    The quote lists the specification and price in writing, so there are no surprises.

  4. We fit and commission

    Your shutter is installed, tested and handed over with instructions and paperwork.

Before you book in Tipton

Do you cover Tipton?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutters in Tipton and the DY4 district, as part of our coverage across West Midlands.

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.

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 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.

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.
