Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in Wallsend

Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Each visit is recorded with a certificate-style report for your fire safety log book.

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.

What's included

  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • 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.

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.
