Options for industrial roller shutters in East Sussex
- Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
- Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
- Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
- Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
- Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
What this work can involve
- Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
- Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
- Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in East Sussex 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.
Access, phasing and timing
If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
