What the visit covers in Ruislip
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Ruislip?
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
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.
