Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Dukinfield
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
What's included
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor

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.
