How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
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.
Options we can specify
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks

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.
