Options for industrial roller shutters in Ayrshire
- Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
- Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
- Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
- Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
- Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
What this work can involve
- Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
- Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
- Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Powered door rules that apply in Ayrshire
Ayrshire 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.
How the work is organised
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Ayrshire
Does an electric roller shutter at our Ayrshire site need safety devices?
It depends on the risk assessment. A hold-to-run shutter in view of the operator may need little more than force limiting, while one that closes automatically typically needs a safety edge and photocells, tested to BS EN 12453.
Do you remove old shutters at sites in Ayrshire?
Yes. Strip-out and disposal of the old shutter is shown as a separate line in the quote, along with any repairs to the opening. The old door normally comes out as part of the same visit that fits the new one.
Can you convert our manual shutter in Ayrshire to electric?
Often, yes, if the barrel, curtain and guides are in good condition. Our guide price for a conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT. We become responsible for the conformity paperwork on the converted door and fit the safety devices it needs.
