What our engineers check and fix
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
What this work can involve
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
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 Tipton, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
