What's included

  • Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
  • Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
  • Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
  • Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
  • Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.

Typical scopes of work

  • Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
  • Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
  • Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Banstead, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Banstead 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.
