Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Maldon
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
Features to choose from
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Written report for your fire log book
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

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.
