Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Greater Manchester

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • 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.

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
