Planned annual maintenance for all makes and types — inspection, adjustment, safety-brake testing and a written compliance report, scheduled around your trading hours.
Every jammed shutter we open at 7am used to be a working shutter that nobody serviced. A roller shutter is machinery — springs under tension, a motor under load, a curtain moving up and down a thousand times a year — and like any machinery it drifts out of adjustment long before it fails.
An annual service catches that drift for a fraction of a breakdown’s cost. We service all makes and types across London and the South East, whether or not we installed them.
For powered shutters at a workplace — which is nearly every shop shutter — yes, in practice. PUWER (the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998) requires work equipment to be maintained in efficient working order and safe condition. A documented annual service by a competent engineer is the accepted way to show that. It matters twice over: HSE expectations if the shutter ever hurts someone, and your insurer’s expectations when you claim — an unmaintained powered shutter gives them an easy question to ask. Manual shutters escape PUWER’s motor checks but not physics; annual servicing is still what keeps springs and guides safe.
One visit, typically under an hour per shutter, scheduled around your trading hours. Documentation kept on file — useful for insurers, landlords and centre management.
Annually for a typical shop shutter used twice a day — the manufacturer-recommended and insurer-expected interval. Every six months for heavy-cycling shutters (loading bays, car parks, multi-open retail) and grilles in gritty environments. After any impact — a van kiss or attempted break-in — get it checked before the next close: a shutter that “still works” after a hit is often one close away from jamming shut.
Each is minutes to correct at a service; each is a trading day lost as a breakdown.
For parades, centres and multi-site retailers we run scheduled servicing across the estate: one contact, one visit plan, one compliance file for every shutter — with priority call-out response if anything fails between visits. We already maintain shutters for national names including Tesco, Lidl, Costa and Pret; if you manage more than a couple of doors, a plan beats diary roulette. Considering upgrades while we’re on site? We’ll quote motorising a manual shutter or a replacement curtain during the same visit — no second call-out.
Our engineers give you the honest ladder: adjust today (included), repair (quoted from the service report), or replace when a curtain is beyond economic repair — with prices you can check against this website before saying yes. General maintenance across your whole frontage — doors, glass, locks — lives on our repair & maintenance page.
