Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Bow: the essentials

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

Features to choose from

  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Written report for your fire log book

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.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
