What our engineers check and fix

Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Newport (Isle of Wight)?

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

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.
