A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.

- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Remedials priced on the day
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

Rules in England

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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions
Do you cover Swadlincote?
Yes. Swadlincote (DE11) is within our Derbyshire coverage, along with nearby Burton upon Trent, Coalville and Tamworth.
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.
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.
Who carries out the work?
Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.
