What the visit covers in Sevenoaks
- 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.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
What this work can involve
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
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 Sevenoaks, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
