Roller Shutter Doors for Industrial Estates – Why Regular Maintenance is Essential

Ensure Security, Compliance & Business Continuity

Do you work in an industrial estate

Ensure Security, Compliance & Business Continuity

Industrial estates rely on heavy-duty roller shutter doors to protect warehouses, factories, distribution centers, and workshops. These doors are crucial for security, efficient operations, and safety—but without regular maintenance, they can fail unexpectedly, leading to costly repairs, downtime, and compliance issues.

Ensure Security, Compliance & Business Continuity

✔ Security & Theft Prevention – Industrial estates are common targets for theft and vandalism. A poorly maintained shutter door can compromise security, making your property vulnerable.
✔ Operational Efficiency – A faulty shutter slows down logistics, deliveries, and production, causing costly business disruptions.
✔ Legal Compliance – UK health & safety laws require regular maintenance of workplace equipment, including roller shutters (PUWER 1998).
✔ Cost Savings – Planned maintenance reduces emergency repair costs and extends the life of your shutter system.
✔ Employee & Visitor Safety – A failing shutter could collapse, jam, or malfunction, putting workers, vehicles, and equipment at risk.

Common Industrial Roller Shutter Issues

⚠ Motor & Gearbox Failures – Causes shutters to stop functioning.
⚠ Misaligned Tracks & Jamming – Can damage doors and lead to breakdowns.
⚠ Damaged or Dented Slats – Reduces security and can cause further mechanical issues.
⚠ Worn Cables & Springs – Creates strain on the system, leading to sudden failures.
⚠ Corrosion & Weather Damage – Exposure to rain, wind, and dust can weaken shutter components over time.

Legal Responsibilities for Industrial Estate Owners & Tenants

UK Health & Safety Regulations require businesses to properly maintain roller shutters to ensure safety and compliance:

🔹 The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) – Requires all mechanical equipment, including roller shutters, to be safe, maintained, and fit for use.
🔹 The Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992 – States that all industrial doors must be kept in efficient working order.
🔹 The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 – Places responsibility on business owners to ensure the safety of employees, visitors, and contractors.
🔹 Fire Safety Regulations (BS EN 16034) – Fire-rated shutters must be serviced at least every 6 months to remain compliant.
