What the visit covers in Mansfield
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.

- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
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.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
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 Mansfield, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in Mansfield are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
