What's included
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
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.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
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 North Yorkshire, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
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.
