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. 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. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.
What's included
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Coordination with your alarm contractor

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.
