What our engineers check and fix
- 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.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
What this work can involve
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- 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 Bearsden?
The dutyholder, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
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.
