How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
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.
Specification options
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Remedials priced on the day
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- 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.
