In short
Fire shutters that rarely move can seize without warning. A service at premises in Doncaster tests them the way a fire would: release, controlled descent, full closure, then reset and record.

What's included
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
Fire safety duties for shutters in Doncaster
In England, fire shutters are part of the fire precautions the responsible person must keep maintained under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: in efficient working order and in good repair. Testing at suitable intervals and keeping the results is expected good practice and supports your fire risk assessment. Enforcement in Doncaster is by the local fire and rescue authority.
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.
