Roller Shutter Maintenance
Roller shutters have the advantage of requiring minimal maintenance. Nevertheless, they still require regular maintenance and inspection for any issues, as they can experience wear and tear over time. At Excel, we offer comprehensive roller shutter servicing to extend the life of your shutters and ensure they consistently provide your premises with the highest level of protection.
To achieve the best outcomes for each project, we follow certain guidelines. Although we don’t have a 24-hour call-out service or availability during evenings and weekends, our team is dedicated to delivering expert maintenance services during our regular business hours.
Do Roller Shutters Need Servicing?
Yes, roller shutters require consistent maintenance for several key reasons:
- It’s a legal obligation to have them serviced at least once a year.
- Routine servicing ensures that safety features, like emergency release systems, are functioning correctly.
- Regular maintenance ensures that the roller shutter functions efficiently and minimises the chances of major issues or unexpected breakdowns. This is particularly important in commercial or industrial environments, where a malfunctioning roller shutter can cause significant operational delays.
- Well-maintained shutters improve insulation, which can reduce energy costs by limiting heat loss or gain, particularly in areas sensitive to climate changes.
- Roller shutters are often used for security purposes. If components aren’t routinely inspected, the shutter may fail to close or lock properly, leaving the property at risk of break-ins.
How Often Should Roller Shutter Doors be Serviced?
If you’re wondering how often roller shutters should be serviced, the Health & Safety Act provides a straightforward answer. Mechanical doors and their components must be inspected at least once a year. They must also be documented and signed by an authorised professional, but there are also steps you can take to monitor their condition yourself.
The frequency of having roller shutters serviced can depend on a variety of factors.
Doors that are used often might need to be serviced more regularly. Areas that experience severe weather or corrosive substances may require more frequent inspections, and certain specialised doors could have unique maintenance requirements.
It’s important to have your roller shutters professionally maintained on a regular basis to ensure they last as long as possible.
