Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Royton
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. 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. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Options we can specify
- Remedials priced on the day
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- 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.
