What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in New Milton
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.
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Options we can specify
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

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.
