What our engineers check and fix
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
Typical scopes of work
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- 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 Leicestershire, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
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.
