How we look after doors in Shrewsbury
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Typical scopes of work
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person 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 Shrewsbury, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
