Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Taunton
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.
A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Options we can specify
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks

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.
