Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Godalming: 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.

Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered.

Options we can specify

  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Coordination with your alarm contractor
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Closing speed and governor checks

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.

Before you book in Godalming

Do you cover Godalming?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Godalming and the GU7 district, as part of our coverage across Surrey.

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.

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.

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.

Can you fit outside trading hours?

Yes, out-of-hours fitting can be arranged for shops and businesses that cannot close during the day.
