How we look after doors in Newmarket
- Scheduling. Service intervals agreed with you, from annual to six-monthly on busy sites.
- Most makes. Shutters from most manufacturers serviced, whether or not we installed them.
- Closure test. A full drop test on every visit, with closing speed checked against the manufacturer's range.
- Written records. Clear records of what was tested, the result and any actions, ready for your fire risk assessor.
- Alarm interface. We coordinate with your fire alarm engineer so the release signal and the shutter are proven together.
What this work can involve
- 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.
- Producing a fire shutter schedule and condition report ahead of a fire risk assessment review.
Who must keep fire shutters working at a site in Newmarket?
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
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.

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.
What happens if a fire shutter in Newmarket 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.
