What's included

Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
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.
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.

Jobs we can carry out

Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.

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 Wolverhampton, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
