Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in South Glamorgan: the essentials

We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

Specification options

  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
