How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
Specification options
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor

Your questions answered
Do you cover Galashiels?
Yes. Galashiels (TD1) is within our Scottish Borders coverage, along with nearby Hawick, Peebles and Musselburgh.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
How long does it take from order to fitting?
Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.
