Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Wigan: 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.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Specification options
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Remedials priced on the day
- Coordination with your alarm contractor

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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions
Do you cover Wigan?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Wigan and the WN1 district, as part of our coverage across Greater Manchester.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
