Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Grampian: the essentials

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.

What's included

  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Closing speed and governor checks

In Scotland the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006 require the duty holder to keep fire safety measures, including fire shutters, maintained in efficient working order and good repair.

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
