Jobs we can carry out
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.

- 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 Faversham, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
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.
