What our engineers check and fix
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- 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.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
What this work can involve
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Fishponds?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Service and repair visits in Fishponds are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
