How we look after doors in Stockton-on-Tees

Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.

What this work can involve

Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person 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 Stockton-on-Tees, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

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.
