What we fit in Brighton

Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Brighton 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 Brighton

Does an electric roller shutter at our Brighton 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.

Do you remove old shutters at sites in Brighton?

Yes. Strip-out and disposal of the old shutter is shown as a separate line in the quote, along with any repairs to the opening. The old door normally comes out as part of the same visit that fits the new one.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Brighton?

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.
