How we look after doors in Burnham-on-Sea
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- 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.
What this work can involve
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Burnham-on-Sea?
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
Service and repair visits in Burnham-on-Sea are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
