How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
What's included
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Remedials priced on the day
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks
