Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Crowthorne: the essentials
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Features to choose from
- Written report for your fire log book
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

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.

Questions about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Crowthorne
Do you cover Crowthorne?
Yes. Crowthorne (RG45) is within our Berkshire coverage, along with nearby Sandhurst, Yateley and Camberley.
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.
How often should fire shutters be drop tested?
Most manufacturers and industry guidance call for at least one test and service a year, with more frequent checks for busy or critical shutters. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your fire risk assessment.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
