How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
Specification options
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Remedials priced on the day
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Written report for your fire log book
