How we look after doors in Barking
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- 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.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Barking?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in Barking 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.
