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.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Hove?
Yes. Hove (BN3) is within our East Sussex coverage, along with nearby Burgess Hill, Worthing and Haywards Heath.
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.
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 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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
