What our engineers check and fix
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
Jobs we can carry out
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Risca
In Wales, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Risca is by South Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
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.
