Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.

Options we can specify

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

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.
