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. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Features to choose from
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Written report for your fire log book
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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.
