What the visit covers in Gwynedd
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
Typical scopes of work
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Gwynedd?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and North Wales Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Keeping your site running during the work
Service and repair visits in Gwynedd are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
