Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Tunbridge Wells: 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.
Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Options we can specify
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
