How we look after doors in Lancaster
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- 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.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Lancaster?
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.
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.
