What's included
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
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 Ledbury, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
