What's included
- 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.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Chester?
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.
