Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Tonbridge

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

What's included

  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Tonbridge?

Yes. Tonbridge (TN9) is within our Kent coverage, along with nearby Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks and Crowborough.

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.

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.

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.

Do you repair shutters fitted by other companies?

Yes. We repair and service most makes of roller shutter, grille and industrial door, whoever fitted them.

What details help you quote quickly?

The postcode, the approximate width and height of the opening, whether you want manual or electric operation, and a photo of the frontage.
