What's included
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Folkestone?
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.
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.
