What's included
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.

- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
Typical scopes of work
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- 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 Alfreton?
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
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.
