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. 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. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Features to choose from
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Written report for your fire log book
- 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.

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

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.
