What our engineers check and fix
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- 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.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Jobs we can carry out
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- 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 Uppingham?
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.
