What's included
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- 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 Wales
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales, 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 Gorseinon, the enforcing authority is Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
Service and repair visits in Gorseinon 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.
