Fire and smoke curtains protect atria, lift lobbies and escape routes, and form smoke compartments. We inspect, service and test active curtains of any type or manufacturer, in line with BS 8524 and at a frequency suited to your building's type and use.
Where security matters as well as fire separation, a fire shutter is often the right barrier. We service and test fire-rated roller shutters with reference to BS EN 16034, and check the BS 7273 interface with your fire alarm.
Fire and smoke dampers, manual or motorised, are often forgotten once the ductwork is closed up, yet they need routine, recorded maintenance. We locate, drop test, photograph and report on each damper, in line with BS 9999 and with reference to BS EN 15650.
Planned preventative maintenance
We visit site, identify and record every curtain, shutter and damper, and note condition and access.
We agree a maintenance schedule and visit frequency that suits your building and trading hours.
Planned visits to inspect, test and service each asset, with minimal disruption to your operation.
