How we look after doors in Ballymena
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Ballymena?
Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person), normally the employer or person in control of the premises, must make sure fire shutters are maintained. Your fire risk assessment should identify each one, how it is released and how often it is tested.
Planning the work around your site
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
