What the visit covers in Fleetwood
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
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 Fleetwood, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
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.
