Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Chelsea: the essentials
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- 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.

Before you book in Chelsea
Do you cover Chelsea?
Yes. Chelsea (SW10) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Battersea, Fulham and Pimlico.
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.
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.
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.
