What to know about shutter servicing & maintenance in Essex

Busy commercial and industrial doors usually need servicing more often than a shop shutter used twice a day. Multi-site and multi-shutter contracts can be scheduled together so every door is covered. 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.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Safety edge and photocell testing
  • Motor, limit and control checks
  • Fixing and bracket checks
  • Multi-shutter and multi-site contracts
  • Cleaning and lubrication of guides and bearings
  • Written report after every visit

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.
