Industrial roller shutters in Kendal

The short version

Replacing a tired shutter in Kendal, 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.

Town: Kendal
Postcode district: LA9
Area: Cumbria
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.

What this work can involve

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
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.

Powered door rules that apply in Kendal

Kendal is in England, 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Kendal 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.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

Can you convert our manual shutter in Kendal 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.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Kendal?

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.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Kendal?

Once the made-to-measure shutter arrives, most single doors are fitted and commissioned in a day. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and installation is booked around your opening hours.
