What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Congleton

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

Features to choose from

  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Remedials priced on the day

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.

Before you book in Congleton

Do you cover Congleton?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Congleton and the CW12 district, as part of our coverage across Cheshire.

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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
