What the visit covers in Bracknell
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
What this work can involve
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Bracknell?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
