Choosing fire shutter servicing & drop tests for premises in West Sussex

Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work. A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters.

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.

Features to choose from

  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks
  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Written report for your fire log book

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.
