How we look after doors in Worthing
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
Typical scopes of work
- Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.
- Carrying out a first service on fire shutters in a newly occupied unit, recording each shutter's make, label and condition.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Worthing?
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
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.
