Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Ilkeston: the essentials
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Options we can specify
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor

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.
