How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. 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. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Specification options
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- 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.
