The short version
Fire shutters that rarely move can seize without warning. A service at premises in Congleton tests them the way a fire would: release, controlled descent, full closure, then reset and record.

What the visit covers in Congleton
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
Jobs we can carry out
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- 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 Congleton?
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
Service and repair visits in Congleton 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.
