Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Sale: the essentials
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.
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Features to choose from
- Written report for your fire log book
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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.
