Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in County Down

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.

Features to choose from

  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

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.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

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.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
