How we look after doors in Annan
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Fire shutter law in Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Annan, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
