Industrial roller shutters in Workington

The short version

Industrial roller shutters for warehouses, yards, workshops and stores in Workington. We survey the opening, recommend the lath, drive and mounting position, then fit and commission the shutter in a day in most cases.

Town: Workington
Postcode district: CA14
Area: Cumbria
Survey: Free for new installations

What we fit in Workington

Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.

Examples of work we can quote for

Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Workington 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Sites in and around Workington vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Industrial roller shutters in Workington: your questions

Can you convert our manual shutter in Workington 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 Workington?

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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Workington 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.
