Typical scopes of work
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
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 Godalming, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
Service and repair visits in Godalming 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.

Fire shutter servicing and drop tests in Godalming: your questions
Do you test shutters in Godalming outside working hours?

Yes. We service most makes across Surrey. On the first visit we record each shutter's details and condition so future services and any repairs are straightforward.

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.
