How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Features to choose from
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Written report for your fire log book
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Truro?
Yes. Truro (TR1) is within our Cornwall coverage, along with nearby Falmouth, Redruth and Newquay.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
