How we look after doors in Kilmarnock
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- 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.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Jobs we can carry out
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Kilmarnock?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
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.

Questions from businesses in Kilmarnock
Who is responsible for fire shutter maintenance at our Kilmarnock site?
The person in control of the premises, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, under fire safety law. Leases often set out whether landlord or tenant arranges it, so check yours.
What happens if a fire shutter in Kilmarnock fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
Do you test shutters in Kilmarnock outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
