How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.

Options we can specify

  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • 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.

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Heswall?

Yes. Heswall (CH60) is within our Merseyside coverage, along with nearby Bebington, Birkenhead and Wallasey.

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.

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.

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.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.

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.
