Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Newport: the essentials
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Features to choose from
- Remedials priced on the day
- Written report for your fire log book
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
