How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.
Options we can specify
- Written report for your fire log book
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Remedials priced on the day
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks

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.
