How we look after doors in Abingdon
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
Jobs we can carry out
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Abingdon?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
