- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Tamworth?
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
Service and repair visits in Tamworth 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.
