How we look after doors in Bradford
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- 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.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
What this work can involve
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Bradford?
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
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.

Questions from businesses in Bradford
Do you test shutters in Bradford 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.
Who is responsible for fire shutter maintenance at our Bradford site?
The person in control of the premises, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, under fire safety law. Leases often set out whether landlord or tenant arranges it, so check yours.
How often should fire shutters in Bradford be tested?
Follow the manufacturer and your fire risk assessment. A full service with closure test at least annually is common practice, with six-monthly visits on busy sites or shutters used daily.
