Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Stamford: the essentials
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. 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. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
What's included
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Written report for your fire log book

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.

Do you cover Stamford?
Yes. Stamford (PE9) is within our Lincolnshire coverage, along with nearby Oakham, Uppingham and Peterborough.
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.

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.
