How we look after doors in Chingford
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Typical scopes of work
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Chingford, the enforcing authority is the London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade).
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.
