What to know about shutter servicing & maintenance in Sunderland

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.

Servicing can extend the life of motors and springs by keeping the curtain running freely. Small issues like worn bearings or loose fixings are cheaper to fix early than after a breakdown.

Options we can specify

  • Written report after every visit
  • Spring tension and balance checks
  • Cleaning and lubrication of guides and bearings
  • Full mechanical inspection
  • Fixing and bracket checks
  • Multi-shutter and multi-site contracts

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 Sunderland?

Yes. Sunderland (SR1) is within our Tyne and Wear coverage, along with nearby Seaham, Washington and Houghton-le-Spring.

Can you service shutters across several sites?

Yes, we can schedule planned maintenance across multiple sites with one report format.

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.

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.

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.
