How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
Specification options
- Remedials priced on the day
- Coordination with your alarm contractor

- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- 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.
