What we fit in Carlisle

Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.

Typical scopes of work

Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
