On a twenty-four hour operation a maintenance contract is not a nicety, it is how the doors keep running. Nearly every expensive failure we attend in Kempton Park started as a cheap one on a door that nobody had a schedule for, on a site that never had a quiet week to notice it in.
What a roller shutter door service includes
- Curtain and slat inspection for impact damage, corrosion and edge wear.
- Guide cleaning and lubrication, which prevents most premature wear.
- Tension and balance check against the door mass.
- Barrel, bearing and shaft inspection.
- Motor, gearbox and limit check with the manual override operated.
- Safety edge and photocell test under load.
- Fixings and structural check where the guides meet the building.
Intervals set by cycles, not by the calendar
A cargo door running several hundred cycles a shift and an office loading bay running twenty a day should not be on the same schedule, and putting them on one is how the busy door fails. We count the cycles, or estimate them properly from the operation, and set the interval from that. On the busiest doors that means quarterly or better.
Servicing in the window between waves
Air freight runs in waves and there is usually a quieter period, even on a site that never closes. We build contracts around your actual traffic pattern, work in those windows, and take one opening at a time so the building keeps operating.
Service contracts for Kempton Park businesses
We run contracts across the cargo and courier precinct, freight forwarders and bonded warehousing, Isando manufacturing and food production, aviation support buildings, hotel back-of-house, and the retail at Festival Mall and Kempton Square. Contracts are priced per door per visit with a reduced rate on multi-door sites.
Access and vetting arranged in advance
On controlled sites the clearance takes longer than the service does. A contract means the arrangements are made once and kept current, so a scheduled visit does not turn into an hour at a security gate.
Priority response for contract sites
Contract customers go to the front of the queue on breakdowns and get labour at the contract rate rather than call-out rate. On a freight operation that is the difference between a wave delayed and a wave missed.
Maintenance records and compliance
Every visit produces a dated report per door. Insurers, auditors and compliance officers ask for exactly that, and on a bonded or controlled site it is part of demonstrating the envelope is being maintained.
What a service contract costs in Kempton Park
Priced on door count, door type, measured duty and visit frequency. We will quote a single service first if you would rather see the standard of work before committing.
Common questions
About roller shutter door service contracts and maintenance
It follows cycles, not the calendar. A dock door opening fifty times a day wants quarterly attention; a workshop door opening twice a day is fine annually. We set the interval from your actual usage rather than selling everyone the same schedule.
On a high-cycle door, yes — usually by a distance. Almost every emergency callout we attend was preventable: springs fatigue predictably, limits drift gradually, guides fill with debris slowly. On a door opened twice a day the maths is closer, and we will say so rather than sell you a contract you do not need.
Yes. Contract sites go to the front of the queue on emergency calls, which on a trading day is usually the part that matters most.
Every visit produces a written report covering what was checked, what was adjusted and what is likely to need attention next. That is the document your insurer, fire consultant or health and safety officer will ask for.
