How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. 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.

Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.

Options we can specify

  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection

Before you book in Perth & Kinross

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.

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.

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.

Is the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
