What our engineers check and fix
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- 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.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Hinckley?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
