What our engineers check and fix
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
What this work can involve
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Warwick?
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
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
