The Importance of a Service & Maintenance Plan: Why you shouldn’t wait until it breaks or not be legally compliant

At Boundary Gate and Barrier, we often ask customers the same question – why wait for a breakdown when a service and maintenance plan could prevent it? Whether it’s a security gate, traffic barrier, bollards or any other system looked after by our skilled engineers, routine maintenance is essential to keeping your equipment safe, functional and compliant.

Stay Compliant with Safety Standards

For commercial sites especially, automated gate safety regulations are not optional. Without routine maintenance and safety checks your site will be non-compliant, exposing you to potential liability and prosecution. Boundary Gate and Barrier ensures all its engineers are DHF Accredited before sending them on the road, this ensures that they can give the best advise on your equipment and are up to date with the latest regulations and Health & Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines.

Improve Longevity and Performance

Even the best mechanical system will wear over time. A regular maintenance regime is designed to ensure that your system stays in peak condition. Our engineers will carry out full inspections and test safety systems, they will also identify and advise you of any wear and tear items allowing you to consider early replacement to avoid catastrophic failure.

Avoid Costly Emergency Repairs

One of the biggest benefits of a maintenance plan is the longer-term cost savings. Identifying potential issues can eliminate sudden failures resulting in emergency callouts that can be expensive, disruptive and impact other components. By investing in a maintenance plan, you can help prevent minor issues from becoming major.

Priority Support and Peace of Mind

Our custom preventative maintenance plans offer more than just servicing – they give you peace of mind, with fully documented reports and test results, priority support with faster response times, cheaper callout rates and access to BGBs Emergency Out of Hours callout facility. Whether your site is a residential or commercial application we’ve got your back 24/7.
