How we look after doors in Twickenham
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Twickenham?
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.
Planning the work around your site
Service and repair visits in Twickenham 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.
