How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.

What's included

  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Written report for your fire log book

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In Scotland the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require the duty holder to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained in efficient working order and good repair.

How it works

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions

Do you cover Helensburgh?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Helensburgh and the G84 district, as part of our coverage across Argyll & Bute.

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

We coordinate with you and your alarm contractor so the shutter can be tested without unwanted alarm calls.

Is fire shutter testing a legal requirement?

Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, and the fire safety law in each UK nation requires those precautions to be maintained in efficient working order. Regular drop testing with records is how that is shown.

What happens if a shutter fails the test?

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
