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

Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. 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.

We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

What's included

  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Written report for your fire log book
