How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
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.
Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Options we can specify
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
