Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Carlisle

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.

We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

What's included

  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

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 Carlisle

Do you cover Carlisle?

Yes. Carlisle (CA1) is within our Cumbria coverage, along with the rest of Cumbria.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
