What our engineers check and fix
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- 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 Eccles?
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 local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Keeping your site running during the work
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
