How we look after doors in Blackpool
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.

Fire safety duties for shutters in Blackpool
In England, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Blackpool is by the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
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.
