Industrial roller shutters in Peterlee

The short version

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

Town: Peterlee
Postcode district: SR8
Area: County Durham
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
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.

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

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

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.
