Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Shrewsbury
Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Features to choose from
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- 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.

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.

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.
What warranty do I get?
