What our engineers check and fix
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- 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 Swinton?
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
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
