Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Nottingham?
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
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.

Questions from businesses in Nottingham
What happens if a fire shutter in Nottingham fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
How often should fire shutters in Nottingham be tested?
Follow the manufacturer and your fire risk assessment. A full service with closure test at least annually is common practice, with six-monthly visits on busy sites or shutters used daily.
Do you test shutters in Nottingham outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
