What our engineers check and fix
- 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. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
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 Greenwich, the enforcing authority is the London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade).
Planning the work around your site
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
