What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Oldham
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
What's included
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day

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.
