Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Ruislip: the essentials

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Specification options

  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Fusible link and alarm interface 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.
