Fire shutter servicing & drop tests in Redditch: the essentials
A drop test checks that the shutter closes fully, at a controlled speed, when the fire signal or release is triggered. Fire safety law in each UK nation requires fire precautions, including fire shutters, to be maintained.
Counter-height and kitchen fire shutters need the same testing as large shutters. Regular testing also gives staff a chance to see how the shutter behaves and keep the area clear.

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