How shutter servicing & maintenance works, and what to ask for
Safety edges and photocells are tested so the shutter stops and reverses as it should. Busy commercial and industrial doors usually need servicing more often than a shop shutter used twice a day.
Fire shutters need their own drop testing and servicing, which we cover separately. A service covers the curtain, guides, barrel, springs, motor, limits, controls, locks and safety devices.
Options we can specify
- Multi-shutter and multi-site contracts
- Written report after every visit
- Cleaning and lubrication of guides and bearings
- Fixing and bracket checks
- Full mechanical inspection
- Spring tension and balance checks

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.

Shutter servicing & maintenance: common questions
Do you cover Chelmsford?
Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter servicing & maintenance in Chelmsford and the CM1 district, as part of our coverage across Essex.
What is checked on a service?
The curtain, guides, barrel, springs, motor, limits, controls, locks and safety devices, followed by a written report.
How often should a roller shutter be serviced?
Most shop shutters benefit from a yearly service, and busy commercial or industrial doors usually need two or more visits a year. The manufacturer's instructions and your risk assessment set the frequency.
Is servicing a legal requirement?
In workplaces, the employer or person in control of the premises must keep powered doors maintained in efficient working order and safe for staff and the public. Regular servicing with a record is the practical way to show that.
Can I get a quote from photos?
Photos and approximate sizes let us give you a guide price quickly. A survey is still needed before a shutter is made, because it is built to exact measurements.
Are your prices fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a written price for the agreed specification, confirmed before anything is ordered or any work starts. If you change the specification, or a hidden problem such as a weak lintel is found during fitting, we price it and agree it with you before carrying on.
