Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Norfolk: the essentials
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Features to choose from
- Remedials priced on the day
- Written report for your fire log book
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions
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.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
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.
