Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Kettering: the essentials

A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.

What's included

  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Remedials priced on the day

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.

Before you book in Kettering

Do you cover Kettering?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Kettering and the NN16 district, as part of our coverage across Northamptonshire.

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.

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.

What warranty do I get?

Products carry the manufacturer's warranty, and the warranty for your shutter is set out in your quote.

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.
