What this work can involve
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- 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 Shepherd's Bush, the enforcing authority is the London Fire Commissioner (London Fire Brigade).
Keeping your site running during the work
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
