How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Features to choose from
- Written report for your fire log book
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- 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.
