What the visit covers in Eltham
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
What this work can involve
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Eltham?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
