How we look after doors in Stranraer
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Stranraer?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for fire shutter maintenance at our Stranraer site?
The person in control of the premises, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, under fire safety law. Leases often set out whether landlord or tenant arranges it, so check yours.
What happens if a fire shutter in Stranraer fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
