How we look after doors in Stonehaven

Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.

Examples of work we can quote for

Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.

Fire shutter law in Scotland

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Stonehaven, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

How the work is organised

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.
