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

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. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

Options we can specify

  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

Rules in Scotland

Fire safety law and fire shutters

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions

Do you cover Aberdeen?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Aberdeen and the AB10 district, as part of our coverage across Grampian.

What happens if a shutter fails the test?

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

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.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
