What our engineers check and fix
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- 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.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Typical scopes of work
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
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 Walsall, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in Walsall are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
