What our engineers check and fix
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
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.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Oswestry?
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.
