How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

Features to choose from

  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • 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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Before you book in Ryde

Do you cover Ryde?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Ryde and the PO33 district, as part of our coverage across Isle of Wight.

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.

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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
