How we look after doors in Truro
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- 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.
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 Truro, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
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.
