Roller shutter doors Roller shutter doors come in all shapes and sizes. FFM offers a wide range of roller shutter doors that provide an additional level of security to any openings of any premises. Shutters are used to help prevent unauthorized access and vandalism to premises by adding an extra layer of security between the outside and whatever entrances the building may need protecting. Many of our shutters can come with a security accreditation such as "Secured By Design" which guarantee's their integrity has been tested in line with ACPO (Association of Chief Police Office) requirements, there is an additional fee for this accreditation however this can be offset with not only peace of mind and potential insurance cost reduction.

FFM have introduced a Building Maintenance department to existing FFM Services offering. This will give a more diverse range of service and products to existing and potential clients. All of these services are extremely important and necessary however this limits the products/services to clients and will limit the options available to the current client base. A Building Maintenance department will expand the product range and client range. When it comes to a service or maintenance contract. FFM Services take away the worry and inconvenience of having to have calendars to remember when your servicing is due.

All business owners, no matter what industry they are in, need to be aware of the fire risks within the workplace. As any fire department will advise you, in a fire emergency, a few seconds could save lives. As a result, organisations should be aware of their fire risks within their working environment and take appropriate steps to prevent fires as well as installing systems to alert personnel if a fire event occurs. From the latest in Fire Extinguisher technology to fire detection equipment, FFM can provide systems to our clients with the aim of keeping their staff and property safe.

As an FM company we feel we have a duty to keep our knowledge and training up to date. To do this we attended aChartered Institution of Building Services Engineers(CIBSE)continual professional development (CPD) training in Bournemouth. The event was entitled ‘Energy Saving In Commercial Heating & Hot Water & Plant Room Tour'. This was hosted and run by a leading British engineering company that is also a manufacturer and supplier of commercial boilers. Along with these discussion were heating controls, primary heat ex-changer's, varying flues, thermostats and last but not least the improved and load matching boilers.

Emergency lighting is required in the event of a power failure. This may come from the electrical company supplying power or a fire within the building or the consumer unit, you must ensure your premises are evacuated safely and quickly (see fire training / fire marshal/warden). Escape routes and emergency exits need to be illuminated to achieve this. We provide expert advice to help you find a solution best tailored to your needs. An emergency lighting system consists of a number of "self-contained" or "slave" luminaries.

We provide technical advice for Pest Control and practical treatments for a range of nuisance pests in residential and commercial properties. While DIY products can deal with smaller ant problems or with garden ants, a professional pest control service will be required for larger or multiple infestations of ants and particularly if they are the pharaoh ant (Monomorium pharaonis) variety. The likelihood of an infestation of bed bugs is greatly increased in premises with poor, crowded and unhygienic conditions, although it can occur in well maintained premises also.

Access control has became an essential requirement for a vast number of businesses, whether this is one door or a hundred doors. This is to provide a secure environment, not only for their workforce but also to stop some of the workforce or publis gaining entry into certain areas of the building. An efficient way of doing this is to use an access control system, which, secures doors via several methods, bio-metric or badge access control readers. FFM's Access Control systems can manage the control of a single door right the way through to a fully computerised system.
