How we look after doors in Maryhill

Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
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.
Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.

What this work can involve

Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
