What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Stowmarket

Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.

Specification options

  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Remedials priced on the day

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions

Do you cover Stowmarket?

Yes. Stowmarket (IP14) is within our Suffolk coverage, along with nearby Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury and Thetford.

How often should fire shutters be drop tested?

Most manufacturers and industry guidance call for at least one test and service a year, with more frequent checks for busy or critical shutters. Follow the manufacturer's instructions and your fire risk assessment.

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

We coordinate with you and your alarm contractor so the shutter can be tested without unwanted alarm calls.

What happens if a shutter fails the test?

We report it straight away, make it safe where possible, and give you a price for the repair so the opening is protected again.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Do you work with landlords and managing agents?

Yes. We quote, fit and service shutters for landlords, managing agents and facilities teams, including multi-site planned maintenance.
