Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Limavady: the essentials

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.

What's included

  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions

Do you cover Limavady?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Limavady and the BT49 district, as part of our coverage across County Londonderry.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

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.
