Why service your roller shutter?
Roller shutters are machines with springs, bearings, guides and, on motorised shutters, a motor and controls. Singapore's heat, humidity and dust wear these parts down. Shutters that are opened and closed many times a day wear even faster. Servicing catches wear early, before the shutter jams at closing time or the motor burns out.
- Fewer sudden breakdowns and emergency call-outs
- Longer life for the motor, springs and curtain
- Smoother, quieter, safer operation
- Service records for landlords, MCSTs and facility managers

Maintenance contracts
For businesses with several shutters or several outlets, a maintenance contract keeps everything on schedule:
- Quarterly or half-yearly visits planned in advance
- Per-shutter pricing with rates for multiple shutters
- Written service records after each visit
- Priority response if a shutter breaks down between services
Ideal for retail chains, F&B groups, logistics companies, factories and condominium MCSTs.
Servicing price
Servicing starts from $120 per shutter. Contract rates are available for multiple shutters. Any repairs found during servicing are quoted separately before work starts.
Note on pricing: these are starting prices. The final cost depends on the complexity of the fault, shutter size and type, parts needed and site access. A site visit is needed for an accurate quote, and the site visit is free. See the full price list.
