Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Wallington: the essentials
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Options we can specify
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
- Remedials priced on the day
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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.

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.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?
Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.
