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

What our engineers check and fix
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- 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.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
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.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
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 Irvine, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
How the work is organised
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
