What we fit in Darlington

Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Darlington?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

Sites in and around Darlington 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.

Questions from businesses in Darlington

Can you convert our manual shutter in Darlington 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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Darlington 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.
