Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. 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. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.
Features to choose from
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Written report for your fire log book

Rules in England
