Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Blackpool: the essentials

Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. 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. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Options we can specify

  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Closing speed and governor 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.

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.

Questions about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Blackpool

Do you cover Blackpool?

Yes. Blackpool (FY1) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Thornton-Cleveleys, Lytham St Annes and Fleetwood.

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.

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.

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.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
