How we look after doors in Port Talbot
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
Jobs we can carry out
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
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 Port Talbot, the enforcing authority is Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service.
Planning the work around your site
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.
