Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Cardiff: the essentials
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. 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.
Features to choose from
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Remedials priced on the day

Fire safety law and fire shutters
