What our engineers check and fix
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- 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.
Typical scopes of work
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- 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 East Kilbride, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
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.
