How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

Options we can specify

  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • 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.

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 Gosport?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Gosport and the PO12 district, as part of our coverage across Hampshire.

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.

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.

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.

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.
