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. 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. Faults found on test are reported straight away with a price for the remedial work.

What's included

  • Remedials priced on the day
  • Curtain, guide and bottom rail inspection
  • Closing speed and governor checks
  • Written report for your fire log book
  • Counter, hatch and large fire shutters
  • Fusible link and alarm interface checks

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.

Questions about fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Batley

Do you cover Batley?

Yes. Batley (WF17) is within our West Yorkshire coverage, along with nearby Dewsbury, Ossett and Morley.

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 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.

How long does it take from order to fitting?

Shutters are made to measure after the survey, so the lead time depends on the product, colour and any security rating. We confirm it in your quote.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
