What our engineers check and fix
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Formby?
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.
How the work is organised
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
