What the visit covers in Devon
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- 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.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
What this work can involve
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Devon
In England, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Devon is by the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Devon 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.
