Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Burnley: the essentials
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Features to choose from
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Written report for your fire log book
- Remedials priced on the day
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions
Do you cover Burnley?
Yes. Burnley (BB11) is within our Lancashire coverage, along with nearby Nelson, Colne and Accrington.
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.
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.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
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.
