- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Jobs we can carry out
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- 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 Boston?
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.
