How we look after doors in Blackheath
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- 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.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
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.
- 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 Blackheath?
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.
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.
