Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Morpeth: the essentials
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Options we can specify
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor 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.
