What our engineers check and fix
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Most makes. We service most fire shutter brands, subject to parts availability.
- Closure test. Each shutter released as the alarm would and its descent timed and checked.
- Mechanical checks. Curtain, barrel, guides, bottom rail and seals inspected for damage and wear.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Testing service-yard fire shutters out of hours so the closure test does not block a busy delivery route.
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Freeing and adjusting a seized governor on a servery fire shutter that does not close fully on test.
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 Great Yarmouth, the enforcing authority is the local fire and rescue authority.
How the work is organised
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.

Your questions about fire shutter servicing and drop tests
Do you test shutters in Great Yarmouth outside working hours?
Yes. Out-of-hours visits are available because testing closes the opening. We agree the timing and confirm any out-of-hours price in the quote.
Can you service fire shutters at our Great Yarmouth site that we didn't buy from you?
Yes. We service most makes across Norfolk. On the first visit we record each shutter's details and condition so future services and any repairs are straightforward.
What happens if a fire shutter in Great Yarmouth fails its test?
We tell you on the day, explain the cause and the risk, and quote any repair. Your fire risk assessor should know about a shutter that is out of service until it is fixed.
