Town: Newton Abbot
Postcode district: TQ12
Area: Devon
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.

What this work can involve

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.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.

Powered door rules that apply in Newton Abbot

Newton Abbot 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.

How the work is organised

Most installations in Newton Abbot 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

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Newton Abbot?

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.

Do you repair roller shutters across Devon?

Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter across Devon, including motors, laths, guides, springs and bottom rails. Repair visits are chargeable and priced in advance; we quote before any larger repair.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Newton Abbot 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.
