Servicing prolongs the life of your shutter installation. It helps avoid the sudden loss of income when a malfunctioning shutter or door restricts access to your premises. A service engineer will also detect abnormal wear and tear or damage which, if left undetected, would reduce the life expectancy of the product, or worse, render it dangerous.
There is a legal requirement to keep roller shutters in a good state of repair. Regulation 5 of the Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992 Regulation 5 of the Provision & Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
It is also a requirement that a documented maintenance record is kept of all servicing and repair work to roller shutters. HVP Security Shutters provides a logbook with all new installations. Please also visit www.hse.gov.uk
