Options that matter on site

Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.

Powered door rules that apply in Swadlincote

Swadlincote 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

For busy sites in Derbyshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Questions from businesses in Swadlincote

Does an electric roller shutter at our Swadlincote 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 convert our manual shutter in Swadlincote 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.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Swadlincote?

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.
