Shutter servicing & maintenance in Chester-le-Street: the essentials
Workplace regulations require the employer or person in control of the premises to keep doors and gates, including powered shutters, maintained in efficient working order. Busy commercial and industrial doors usually need servicing more often than a shop shutter used twice a day.
Servicing can extend the life of motors and springs by keeping the curtain running freely. Safety edges and photocells are tested so the shutter stops and reverses as it should.
Features to choose from
- Cleaning and lubrication of guides and bearings
- Written report after every visit
- Spring tension and balance checks
- Full mechanical inspection
- Fixing and bracket checks
- Safety edge and photocell testing

Rules in England
Safety of powered shutters
Powered doors and shutters are treated as machinery. The installer commissions them with a risk assessment, safety devices where the risk calls for them and force checks to BS EN 12453, then hands over a declaration of conformity and maintenance instructions. In workplaces, the employer or whoever controls the premises must keep doors maintained and safe for staff and visitors.
