What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Fort William

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

Specification options

  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release

Your questions answered

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.

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.

How often should fire shutters be drop tested?

Most manufacturers and industry guidance call for at least one test and service a year, with more frequent checks for busy or critical shutters. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your fire risk assessment.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
