How we look after doors in Brixton
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
Typical scopes of work
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Brixton?
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
Service and repair visits in Brixton 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.
