What our engineers check and fix
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
What this work can involve
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Taunton?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
