What our engineers check and fix
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
Jobs we can carry out
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- 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 Market Harborough, the enforcing authority is 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.
