The short version
Fire shutters that rarely move can seize without warning. A service at premises in Norfolk tests them the way a fire would: release, controlled descent, full closure, then reset and record.

How we look after doors in Norfolk
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Alarm interface. Release signal and fail-safe operation checked, with your alarm contractor where needed.
- Mechanical checks. Guides, laths, bottom rail and smoke seals inspected and cleaned so nothing stops a full closure.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
- Remedials. If a shutter fails, we explain why and quote the fix before carrying out paid work.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Norfolk?
The responsible person, usually the employer, owner or managing agent, has the duty under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Your fire risk assessment should list each shutter, how it is released and how often it is tested, and the local fire and rescue authority may ask how the shutters are maintained.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
