How we look after doors in Huntingdon
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
What this work can involve
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Huntingdon?
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
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
