How often should a shop shutter be serviced? Once a year suits most shops. Shutters on busy premises, fire shutters and large electric doors benefit from six-monthly visits, because worn parts are replaced before they fail at closing time.
What are the signs you need shutter servicing and maintenance?
- Shutter has not been looked at for over a year
- You run several shops or units
- Insurer or landlord asks for service records
- Small faults keep coming back
What does the engineer do?
- Clean and lubricate guides, bearings and locks
- Check springs, motor, limits and controls
- Report worn parts with a price to replace them
- Service record for each shutter
Prices vary with shutter width, the make and model, whether parts are in stock and whether you need an out-of-hours visit. You receive the exact figure in writing once the fault has been diagnosed, and nothing is fitted until you agree it.
