What our engineers check and fix
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
