What to specify

Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.

Examples of work we can quote for

Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Chester?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions

Can you convert our manual shutter in Chester 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 Chester 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.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Chester?

Yes. Where your insurer asks for a rating such as LPS 1175, we supply a shutter whose manufacturer holds that certification and install it to the certified specification. Check the exact rating your insurer wants before ordering.
