Whether you run a busy warehouse, a shopfront, or a large industrial site, your doors and shutters are working hard every day. They’re protecting your stock, keeping your premises secure, and making sure your operations run smoothly. But like any hardworking equipment, they need the right care — and sometimes the right upgrades — to keep performing at their best.
That’s where smart accessory choices and bundled servicing deals come in. With the right approach, you can improve performance, extend the life of your equipment, and save money in the process.
Accessory Add-Ons That Make a Difference
Not all shutters or doors are created equal, and your setup can often benefit from a few clever extras. Here are three of the most popular — and practical — add-ons our engineers recommend.
A remote kit is all about convenience. Instead of walking over to operate your shutter manually, you can open or close it from a distance with the press of a button. In a busy environment, those seconds add up, and you’ll be putting less strain on your equipment too.
Power cuts happen. Motors sometimes fail. A manual crank means you can still open and close your shutter even if the electrics aren’t on your side that day. It’s one of those accessories you hope you never need — but when you do, you’ll be glad it’s there.
3. Backup Batteries & Power Units
For some businesses, downtime is more than an inconvenience — it’s a cost. A backup battery ensures your doors and shutters keep working even during an outage, keeping your operation moving and your site secure.
The key here isn’t adding every extra available, but choosing what makes sense for your site’s daily demands.
Why Bundling Servicing, Repairs, and Accessories Saves You More Than You Think
A lot of businesses treat shutter repairs, servicing, and accessory upgrades as separate jobs. But booking them together can mean real savings — in both money and time.
- One Call-Out Fee — Instead of paying for separate visits, you pay once and get multiple jobs done.
- Less Downtime — Our engineers can complete servicing, repairs, and installations in one go, keeping your operations running.
- Better Pricing on Parts — We offer competitive rates when accessories are fitted during scheduled servicing or repairs.
- Early Problem Detection — While fitting your new accessories, we can spot and fix minor issues before they turn into expensive breakdowns.
For example, if you’ve been meaning to replace your remote kit and your annual door servicing is due, having them done together is the smart move.

Think of it as a health check for your equipment — one that can save you a lot of headaches later.
