Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Oxfordshire

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. 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. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.

Options we can specify

  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor

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.
