How we look after doors in Telford
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
Jobs we can carry out
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Telford?
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
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.
