Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Lincoln
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Specification options
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Written report for your fire log book

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 Lincoln?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Lincoln. We also cover nearby Gainsborough, Newark-on-Trent and Retford.
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.
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 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.
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.
