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
