What our engineers check and fix
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
Jobs we can carry out
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- 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 Weymouth, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
