How we look after doors in Rochdale
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Rochdale?
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.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Rochdale 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.
