How we look after doors in Tewkesbury
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
What this work can involve
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- 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 Tewkesbury?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
