Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Milton Keynes: the essentials
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
What's included
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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 Milton Keynes
Do you cover Milton Keynes?

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.
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.
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 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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
