What the visit covers in East Grinstead
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
What this work can involve
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in East Grinstead?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Access, phasing and timing
Service and repair visits in East Grinstead 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.
