Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Rutland: the essentials

A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

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.

Features to choose from

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

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.

Your questions answered

What happens if a shutter fails the test?

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.

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.
