How we look after doors in Acton
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Acton?
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 London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade) may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Keeping your site running during the work
Service and repair visits in Acton 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.
