Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in South Croydon
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. 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
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day

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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions
Do you cover South Croydon?
Yes. South Croydon (CR2) is within our Greater London coverage, along with nearby Croydon, Purley and Wallington.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
What warranty do I get?
Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.
