The short version
Fire shutters that rarely move can seize without warning. A service at premises in Castleford tests them the way a fire would: release, controlled descent, full closure, then reset and record.

How we look after doors in Castleford
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
What this work can involve
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- 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 Castleford?
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
Service and repair visits in Castleford 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.
