Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Fife

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. 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.

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.

Options we can specify

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

Before you book in Fife

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.

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
