What the visit covers in Eastleigh
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
Jobs we can carry out
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- 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.
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 Eastleigh, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
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.
