Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Sandown: the essentials
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.
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.
Options we can specify
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Remedials priced on the day
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Sandown?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Sandown and the PO36 district, as part of our coverage across Isle of Wight.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
What warranty do I get?
