How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Specification options

  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Written report for your fire log book

Rules in Northern Ireland

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In Northern Ireland the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010 require the appropriate person to keep fire precautions, including fire shutters, maintained in efficient working order.

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.

Questions about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Newtownabbey

Do you cover Newtownabbey?

Yes. Newtownabbey (BT36) is within our County Antrim coverage, along with nearby Carrickfergus, Bangor (County Down) and Newtownards.

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 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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

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.
