How we look after doors in Cramlington
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
What this work can involve
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
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 Cramlington, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
