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

- Guide price
- £125 – £265
What's included
- 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. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
Jobs we can carry out
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Morden?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Service and repair visits in Morden are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
