How we look after doors in Wigan
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
What this work can involve
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Wigan
In England, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: in efficient working order and in good repair.

Access, phasing and timing
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.
