Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Winsford: the essentials

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.

Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Features to choose from

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

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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions

Do you cover Winsford?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Winsford and the CW7 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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
