How shutter servicing & maintenance works, and what to ask for

Servicing can extend the life of motors and springs by keeping the curtain running freely. Fire shutters need their own drop testing and servicing, which we cover separately.

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.

Options we can specify

  • Motor, limit and control checks
  • Fixing and bracket checks
  • Written report after every visit
  • Multi-shutter and multi-site contracts
  • Cleaning and lubrication of guides and bearings
  • Spring tension and balance checks
Gloved hands cleaning and lubricating a roller shutter guide rail

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.

How it works

  1. Describe the fault

    Tell us what the shutter is doing, the make if you know it, and send a photo or video.

  2. Engineer visit

    An engineer inspects the shutter, finds the cause and makes it safe.

  3. Fixed repair price

    You get the repair price before parts are fitted; simple fixes are often done on the first visit.

  4. Tested and reported

    Limits and safety devices are checked, and you get a note of what was done.

Shutter servicing & maintenance: common questions

Do you cover Portsmouth?

Yes. Portsmouth (PO5) is within our Hampshire coverage, along with nearby Gosport, Fareham and Ryde.

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.

What is checked on a service?

The curtain, guides, barrel, springs, motor, limits, controls, locks and safety devices, followed by a written report.

Will you take away my old shutter?

Yes. Removal and disposal of an old shutter is included when we quote for a replacement.

Do your guide prices include VAT?

Guide prices are shown both excluding VAT and including VAT at the standard rate of 20%. For a home, the price including VAT is what you pay.
