Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Forth Valley
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. 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. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Options we can specify
- Remedials priced on the day
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?

What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
