Typical scopes of work
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.

- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Dumbarton?
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.
How the work is organised
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.
