Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Inverness: the essentials
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.
Options we can specify
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions
Do you cover Inverness?
Yes. Inverness (IV2) is within our Highlands & Islands coverage, along with the rest of Highlands & Islands.
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.
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.
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 you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
