Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in South Benfleet
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. 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. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
