What our engineers check and fix
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Drive and back-up. Motors, brakes, limit settings and battery units checked for reliable operation.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Servicing fire shutters on conveyor openings, including checks that the conveyor clears the closing line before the shutter descends.
- 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 Salisbury, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
Planning the work around your site
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
