What the visit covers in Melton Mowbray
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
What this work can involve
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
