How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Specification options
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

Questions about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Gwynedd
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.
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.
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.
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.
