How we look after doors in Prescot
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- 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 Prescot?
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
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.
