Options that matter on site

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.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.

Jobs we can carry out

Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Powered door rules that apply in Essex

Essex is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
