What our engineers check and fix
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
What this work can involve
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
Fire shutter law in Wales
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales, 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 Abergavenny, the enforcing authority is South Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
How the work is organised
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
