Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Sheffield?
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.
How the work is organised
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.

Questions from businesses in Sheffield
Can you service fire shutters at our Sheffield site that we didn't buy from you?
Yes. We service most makes across South Yorkshire. On the first visit we record each shutter's details and condition so future services and any repairs are straightforward.
What happens if a fire shutter in Sheffield fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
