Under UK legislation, landlords are required to ensure that all mechanical doors and shutters are:
✔ Regularly Inspected & Maintained – The Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992 state that “doors and gates shall be maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair.”
✔ Safe to Operate – The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) requires all work equipment, including roller shutters, to be properly maintained and safe to use.
✔ Compliant with Fire Safety Standards – If your building has fire-rated roller shutters, you must ensure they are maintained to British Standard BS EN 16034 to function correctly in an emergency.
✔ Electrically Safe – If the shutters are electrically operated, they must comply with The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, ensuring all electrical components are regularly inspected.

✔If you own and lease out a commercial property, you are generally responsible for ensuring all structural and external elements, including roller shutters, are well-maintained.
✔If the lease states that the tenant is responsible for maintenance, they must ensure servicing is carried out, but you still have an overarching duty to ensure compliance with safety laws.
✔In shared or multi-tenant buildings, landlords usually retain responsibility for all communal security features, including roller shutters.
