Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Barnes

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

Specification options

  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release

Rules in England

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In England fire shutters form part of a building's fire precautions under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order and good repair, which in practice means regular drop testing with written records.

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.

Questions about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Barnes

Do you cover Barnes?

Yes. Barnes (SW13) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Chiswick, Putney and Fulham.

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.

How often should fire shutters be drop tested?

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.

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.

Who carries out the work?

Work is carried out by experienced shutter engineers working for S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is the company your contract is with.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
