Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Dumfries

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

Features to choose from

  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Closing speed and governor checks

Rules in Scotland

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In Scotland the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require the duty holder to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained in efficient working order and good repair.

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.
