How fire shutter servicing & drop tests works, and what to ask for

A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire. Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters.

Manufacturers and industry guidance typically call for testing at least once a year, and more often for busy or critical shutters. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.

Features to choose from

  • Full drop test under fire signal or release
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Fusible link and alarm interface 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.

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.

Your questions answered

Do you cover Horsham?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Horsham and the RH12 district, as part of our coverage across West Sussex.

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 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.

Will the test set off my fire alarm?

We coordinate with you and your alarm contractor so the shutter can be tested without unwanted alarm calls.

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.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
