How we look after doors in Elgin
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
Jobs we can carry out
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- 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.
Fire shutter law in Scotland
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Elgin, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
