Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Maidstone
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. 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.
Options we can specify
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day

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.
