What the visit covers in Kendal
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
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 Kendal, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
Service and repair visits in Kendal 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.
