What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Forfar

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. 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. 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
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor

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.

Before you book in Forfar

Do you cover Forfar?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Forfar and the DD8 district, as part of our coverage across Dundee & Angus.

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.

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.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
