How we look after doors in Derry
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- 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 Derry?
Under the Fire and Rescue Services (Northern Ireland) Order 2006 and the Fire Safety Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, the person with fire safety duties (often called the appropriate person), normally the employer or person in control of the premises, must make sure fire shutters are maintained. Your fire risk assessment should identify each one, how it is released and how often it is tested.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
