Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Woking: the essentials
The fusible link, alarm interface, governor, curtain, guides and bottom rail are all inspected. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.
Options we can specify
- Remedials priced on the day
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- 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.

Your questions answered
Do you cover Woking?
Yes. Send the postcode and we will arrange a survey in Woking. We also cover nearby Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames.
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.
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.
Will you take away my old shutter?
Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.
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.
