What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Northwich
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
Options we can specify
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Written report for your fire log book

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Northwich?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Northwich. We also cover nearby Winsford, Runcorn and Widnes.
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.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
