How we look after doors in Govan
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
What this work can involve
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Govan?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
