Typical scopes of work
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.

Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Aldridge?
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.
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.
