Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Pontypool

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.

Options we can specify

  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

Rules in Wales

Fire safety law and fire shutters

In Wales the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 also applies. Fire shutters are part of the fire precautions, and the responsible person must keep them maintained in efficient working order, with regular drop testing and 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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions

Do you cover Pontypool?

Yes. Pontypool (NP4) is within our Gwent coverage, along with nearby Cwmbran, Risca and Ebbw Vale.

Is fire shutter testing a legal requirement?

Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, and the fire safety law in each UK nation requires those precautions to be maintained in efficient working order. Regular drop testing with records is how that is shown.

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.

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 long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
