What the visit covers in Neath
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- 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.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Neath?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as it applies in Wales. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Planning the work around your site
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.

Fire shutter servicing and drop tests in Neath: your questions
Can you service fire shutters at our Neath site that we didn't buy from you?
Yes. We service most makes across West Glamorgan. 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.
