Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Esher
We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
Features to choose from
- Written report for your fire log book
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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.
