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. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.

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.
