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

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Options we can specify

  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Newbury?

Yes. Newbury (RG14) is within our Berkshire coverage, along with nearby Thatcham, Basingstoke and Didcot.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
