Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.

What this work can involve

Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.

Powered door rules that apply in Forfar

Forfar is in Scotland, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Forfar vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
