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

A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

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

Options we can specify

  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.
