What the visit covers in Newtownards
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
What this work can involve
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Newtownards?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
