In short
Fire shutters that rarely move can seize without warning. A service at premises in Highbury tests them the way a fire would: release, controlled descent, full closure, then reset and record.

What our engineers check and fix
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- 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.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
Jobs we can carry out
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Highbury?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
