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

We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

Options we can specify

  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • 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.

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 Stanley

Do you cover Stanley?

Yes. Stanley (DH9) is within our County Durham coverage, along with nearby Chester-le-Street, Consett and Gateshead.

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.

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.

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.
