Options that matter on site

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Consett 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
