How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

Features to choose from

  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

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

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
