Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Worksop: the essentials
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected.
Options we can specify
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Remedials priced on the day

Rules in England
Fire safety law and fire shutters
