What's included
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
Typical scopes of work
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Cirencester?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Service and repair visits in Cirencester 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.
