Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Kirkcudbright: the essentials

We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

Options we can specify

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

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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions

Do you cover Kirkcudbright?

Yes. Kirkcudbright (DG6) is within our Dumfries & Galloway coverage, along with nearby Newton Stewart.

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 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 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.

Can I get a quote from photos?

Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.

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.
