- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- 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.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Rugeley?
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 Rugeley 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.
