How we look after doors in Manchester
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
Jobs we can carry out
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Manchester?
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
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.
