Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in St Austell: the essentials
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. 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.
Features to choose from
- Remedials priced on the day
- Written report for your fire log book
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- 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.
