How we look after doors in Downpatrick
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- 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 Downpatrick?
Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person), normally the employer or person in control of the premises, must make sure fire shutters are maintained. Your fire risk assessment should identify each one, how it is released and how often it is tested.
Access, phasing and timing
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
