How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

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.

Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Features to choose from

  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks

Where we work around Salford

Jobs in Salford are planned as part of our Greater Manchester coverage, and visits can be combined with jobs in nearby Eccles, Swinton and Stretford. Planning rules are those of your local council in England.

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Salford?

Yes. Salford (M6) is within our Greater Manchester coverage, along with nearby Eccles, Swinton and Stretford.

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

We coordinate with you and your alarm contractor so the shutter can be tested without unwanted alarm calls.

How often should fire shutters be drop tested?

Most manufacturers and industry guidance call for at least one test and service a year, with more frequent checks for busy or critical shutters. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your fire risk assessment.

What happens if a shutter fails the test?

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
