How we look after doors in Stowmarket
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- 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.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Stowmarket?
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
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.
