Routine Servicing

It doesn’t matter if you have roller shutters, automatic doors or even sliding gates; it’s essential to undertake routine servicing at various intervals. This is generally based on monthly, quarterly, biannual or annual service cycles depending on the door or gate usage. We also provide ad hoc door repair and servicing when no routine service contract is in place.
