What's included
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
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.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
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 Livingston, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
Service and repair visits in Livingston are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
