What to know about shutter servicing & maintenance in Harpenden

Servicing can extend the life of motors and springs by keeping the curtain running freely. Multi-site and multi-shutter contracts can be scheduled together so every door is covered.

Each visit ends with a written report listing what was checked and anything that needs attention. Small issues like worn bearings or loose fixings are cheaper to fix early than after a breakdown.

Options we can specify

  • Motor, limit and control checks
  • Spring tension and balance checks
  • Fixing and bracket checks
  • Cleaning and lubrication of guides and bearings
  • Written report after every visit
  • Full mechanical inspection

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.

Questions about shutter servicing & maintenance in Harpenden

Do you cover Harpenden?

Yes. We survey, fit and repair shutter servicing & maintenance in Harpenden and the AL5 district, as part of our coverage across Hertfordshire.

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.

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 the survey free?

Yes, for new shutters, grilles and doors: the survey and written quote are free and there is no obligation to go ahead. Repair and servicing visits are charged, and we tell you the price before we visit.

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.
