How we look after doors in Staffordshire
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- 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.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
Typical scopes of work
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- 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.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Staffordshire?
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.

Your questions about fire shutter servicing and drop tests
What happens if a fire shutter in Staffordshire 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.
Do you test shutters in Staffordshire outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
Can you service fire shutters at our Staffordshire site that we didn't buy from you?
Yes. We service most makes across the West Midlands. On the first visit we record each shutter's details and condition so future services and any repairs are straightforward.
