What the visit covers in Westhoughton
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
What this work can involve
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
