How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Specification options
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

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.
