Fire Shutter Testing & Compliance in Redbridge
Fire shutters are a legal requirement on most commercial premises. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS EN 12101-2, fire shutters must be drop-tested weekly by the building's responsible person and fully serviced and inspected annually by a qualified engineer.
We carry out full fire shutter testing across Redbridge — checking drop-test operation, control panel response, emergency release, and safety edge function. Every visit includes a written compliance report suitable for your fire log, insurers, and fire officer inspection.
- Weekly drop-testing guidance for your responsible person
- Annual full inspection and service
- Compliance report for fire logs and insurers
- Repairs to any fault found during testing
- Reminder service so you never miss a test date
