How we look after doors in Berwick-upon-Tweed
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.

Jobs we can carry out
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.

- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
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 Berwick-upon-Tweed, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
