How we look after doors in Clydebank

Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
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.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.

Fire shutter law in Scotland

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Fire (Scotland) Act 2005 and the Fire Safety (Scotland) Regulations 2006, the dutyholder 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 Clydebank, the enforcing authority is the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
