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.

Fire shutter servicing & drop tests: common questions
Do you cover Haywards Heath?
Yes. Haywards Heath (RH16) is within our West Sussex coverage, along with nearby Burgess Hill, East Grinstead and Horsham.
Is fire shutter testing a legal requirement?
Fire shutters are part of a building's fire precautions, and the fire safety law in each UK nation requires those precautions to be maintained in efficient working order. Regular drop testing with records is how that is shown.
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.
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.
Is the survey free?
Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
