How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for
Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
What's included
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Closing speed and governor checks
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Full drop test under fire signal or release

Fire safety law and fire shutters
