How we look after doors in Falmouth
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- 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.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Falmouth?
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
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.

Fire shutter servicing and drop tests in Falmouth: your questions
How often should fire shutters in Falmouth be tested?
Follow the manufacturer and your fire risk assessment. A full service with closure test at least annually is common practice, with six-monthly visits on busy sites or shutters used daily.
Do you test shutters in Falmouth outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
Can you service fire shutters at our Falmouth site that we didn't buy from you?
Yes. We service most makes across Cornwall. On the first visit we record each shutter's details and condition so future services and any repairs are straightforward.
