How we look after doors in Torquay
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
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 Torquay, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
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.
