What our engineers check and fix
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
What this work can involve
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- 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.
