How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
Specification options
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Remedials priced on the day
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Written report for your fire log book

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.

Before you book in Epsom
Do you cover Epsom?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Epsom. We also cover nearby Ewell, Banstead and Sutton.
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.
Is fire shutter testing a legal requirement?
Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, and the fire safety law in each UK nation requires those precautions to be maintained in efficient working order. Regular drop testing with records is how that is shown.
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.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
