Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Sudbury: the essentials
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. 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. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
Features to choose from
- Written report for your fire log book
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Sudbury?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Sudbury. We also cover nearby Colchester, Haverhill and Braintree.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
