What the visit covers in Tyldesley
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- 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.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Tyldesley, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
