Fire and smoke curtains service plans offered by Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd are additional services to all instillation’s taken place. The lowest price plan covers an annual onsite attendance for inspection of one fire or smoke curtain and the once annually replacement of emergency back-up batteries per unit. Additional plans will need to be purchased for each and every smoke or fire curtain that needs to be covered by the Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd “Health Check” maintenance package.
Installations
All units manufacture to our exact site surveys are correct at dispatch on date. If there is a request on site to alter, move or enlarge any or all of the fire or smoke curtain equipment whist onsite then any additional time needed to make these changes will be charged at a sequential quarterly daily rate. This time allowance for changes to be made will only be initiated if that Fire Curtains Engineer has no other appointments for that day or he or she feels that they have sufficient enough time to make the requested changes.
Replacement Parts
If it is deemed by the allocated Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd “Health Check” engineer that there is a need for additional replacement parts to render that single smoke or fire curtain back to full working order, not including the emergency battery back up replacement already included in that single plan as standard, then these additional parts will encore additional charges to which you will be invoiced either by email or by post.
Please note: Any additional parts needed to render the fire or smoke curtain back to full working order as deemed by the allocated Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd “Health Check” engineer, will be replaced that day if the engineer has these parts available onsite. By taking out any Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd “Health Check” plan, you automatically agree to these terms unless you state otherwise at the immediate point of taking out a Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd “Health Check” plan. If you opt to be notified of any additional replacements parts before replacement is made, not including the standard replacement emergency batteries, and the engineer or Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd representative is not able to gain authorisation from the named representative on the “health Check” plan within 1 hour of notification being made, then replacement will not take place and the site engineer will have to return to the defective smoke or fire curtain at a later day. You will be notified about this fact either by telephone, email, post. If the Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd “Health Check” engineer is unable to replace defective parts within the smoke or fire curtain due down to authorisation not being gained from the named representative upon the Fire Curtains “Health Check” plan, within 1 hour of notification being made for the need of replacement parts, then a call back fee will be encored to the named company/person upon the Smoke & Fire Curtains Ltd “Health Check” cover plan.
