Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Bournemouth: the essentials

A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. 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. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Options we can specify

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

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.

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

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.

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.

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.
