What to know about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Wednesfield
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.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. We can test shutters linked to the fire alarm in coordination with your alarm contractor.

- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Remedials priced on the day
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
