What our engineers check and fix
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- 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.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
Typical scopes of work
- 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.
- 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 West Bromwich, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.
