Fire shutter servicing and drop tests in Cleckheaton

The short version

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

Town: Cleckheaton
Postcode district: BD19
Area: West Yorkshire
Guide price: £125 – £265

What's included

Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.

Examples of work we can quote for

Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
Realigning and clearing fire shutter guides damaged by pallet trucks so nothing prevents a full, square closure.

Fire shutter law in England

A fire shutter only does its job if it closes when needed. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must keep fire safety equipment maintained in efficient working order, and keeping test records is the usual way to show it. Shutters must also stay as the manufacturer tested and certified them, so repairs should use the right parts. In Cleckheaton, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.

Planning the work around your site

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.
