How we look after doors in Pontefract
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Scheduling. Six-monthly or annual visits set to suit your risk assessment.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
Jobs we can carry out
- 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.
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 Pontefract, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
