How we look after doors in Coventry
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
Jobs we can carry out
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
Fire shutter law in England
A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, 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 Coventry, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
