What the visit covers in Aldershot
- 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.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Aldershot, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
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.
