How we look after doors in Stanley
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- 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 Stanley?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
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.
