What the visit covers in Sutton
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- 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 Sutton?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in Sutton 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.

A written report for each shutter covering inspection findings, the drop test result, any defects and recommended actions — ready to file with your fire safety records.

Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
