Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Hoddesdon: the essentials
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.
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.
Options we can specify
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

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.
