Industrial roller shutters in Ampthill

The short version

Replacing a tired shutter in Ampthill, or converting a manual one to electric? We quote a fixed price in writing after surveying the opening, then fit, test and hand over the door.

Options that matter on site

Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.

Jobs we can carry out

Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ampthill are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Ampthill can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Frequently asked questions

Do you repair roller shutters across Bedfordshire?

Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter across Bedfordshire, including motors, laths, guides, springs and bottom rails. Repair visits are chargeable and priced in advance; we quote before any larger repair.

Can you convert our manual shutter in Ampthill 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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Ampthill 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.
