What our engineers check and fix

Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.

Jobs we can carry out

Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person 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 High Wycombe, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Access, phasing and timing

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
