Professional Servicing for Roller Shutters and Industrial Doors — Keep Your Business Safe and Compliant
At Industrial Door Engineering (IDE), we provide expert servicing and maintenance for all types of roller shutters and industrial doors, ensuring they operate safely, reliably, and in full compliance with UK health and safety legislation.
Why Regular Maintenance Is Essential
Servicing your roller shutters and industrial doors is not just good practice — it is a legal requirement under regulations such as the Provision of Workplace Equipment Regulations 1998 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. These laws require that powered doors and shutters be inspected and maintained regularly by a qualified professional to:
- Ensure they are suitable for their intended use and conditions
- Maintain them in a safe condition to protect users and staff
- Prevent accidents, operational failures, and costly downtime
- Keep detailed records of inspections and maintenance for compliance purposes
How Often Should You Service Your Doors and Shutters?
The frequency of servicing depends on the type of door, its usage, and environmental conditions:
- Roller shutters and powered industrial doors should be professionally serviced at least once every 12 months as a legal minimum
- For higher usage or outdoor shutters exposed to weather, servicing every 6 months or even every 4 months is recommended to prevent wear and ensure smooth operation
- Manual roller shutters should be serviced at least once a year
- Fire roller shutters require servicing every 6 months due to their critical safety role
Regular servicing includes cleaning, lubrication of moving parts, checking and adjusting springs and cables, testing safety brakes and emergency releases, and inspecting control panels and sensors.
