What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Falkirk

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. 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. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

What's included

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

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Falkirk and the FK1 district, as part of our coverage across Forth Valley.

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.

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.

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.

What details help you quote quickly?
