What our engineers check and fix
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Typical scopes of work
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
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 Kingswood, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
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.
