In short
Fire shutters that rarely move can seize without warning. A service at premises in Amersham tests them the way a fire would: release, controlled descent, full closure, then reset and record.

What the visit covers in Amersham
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Jobs we can carry out
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Amersham, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
