In short
Fire shutters that rarely move can seize without warning. A service at premises in Grantham tests them the way a fire would: release, controlled descent, full closure, then reset and record.

What the visit covers in Grantham
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
Typical scopes of work
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- 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 Grantham, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in Grantham are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
