What our engineers check and fix
- 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.
- Written records. A service report per shutter for your fire safety logbook.
- Remedials. Faults explained on the day and quoted before any chargeable repair.
- Drive and back-up. Motor, brake, limits and any battery back-up tested.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing a failed battery back-up unit so a fire shutter closes under control when mains power is lost.
- Drop-testing compartment fire shutters every six months, coordinated with the fire alarm contractor's scheduled test visit.
- 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 Haverhill?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Your questions about fire shutter servicing and drop tests
Can you service fire shutters at our Haverhill site that we didn't buy from you?
Yes. We service most makes across Suffolk. On the first visit we record each shutter's details and condition so future services and any repairs are straightforward.
How often should fire shutters in Haverhill be tested?
Follow the manufacturer and your fire risk assessment. A full service with closure test at least annually is common practice, with six-monthly visits on busy sites or shutters used daily.
What happens if a fire shutter in Haverhill 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.
