Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Littlehampton: the essentials
Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained. A shutter that sticks, closes too fast or stops short can leave an opening unprotected in a fire.
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.
Options we can specify
- Coordination with your alarm contractor
- Full drop test under fire signal or release
- Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
- Written report for your fire log book
- Fusible link and alarm interface checks
- Counter, hatch and large fire shutters

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.
