Shutter Door Repairs in Braintree
Braintree Village outlet shopping centre and the Stansted Airport commercial corridor generate a lot of shutter work. Retail village shutters run continuous cycles and need frequent servicing. Stansted's airport-facing commercial units — hotels, offices, and logistics — need shutters that work 24/7 and can be repaired in tight time windows.
We cover Braintree postcodes CM7, CM6, CM24 and work regularly around Braintree Village and Stansted Airport, on streets including Coggeshall Road, Market Place, and Stansted High Street.

Fire Shutter Testing & Compliance in Braintree
Fire shutters are a legal requirement on most commercial premises. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and BS EN 12101-2, fire shutters must be drop-tested weekly by the building's responsible person and fully serviced and inspected annually by a qualified engineer.
We carry out full fire shutter testing across Braintree — checking drop-test operation, control panel response, emergency release, and safety edge function. Every visit includes a written compliance report suitable for your fire log, insurers, and fire officer inspection.
- Weekly drop-testing guidance for your responsible person
- Annual full inspection and service
- Compliance report for fire logs and insurers
- Repairs to any fault found during testing
- Reminder service so you never miss a test date
