Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Littlehampton?
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.
How the work is organised
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.

Questions from businesses in Littlehampton
Do you test shutters in Littlehampton outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
Can you service fire shutters at our Littlehampton site that we didn't buy from you?
Yes. We service most makes across West Sussex. On the first visit we record each shutter's details and condition so future services and any repairs are straightforward.
What happens if a fire shutter in Littlehampton fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
