How we look after doors in Totton
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- 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.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Totton?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
How the work is organised
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
