What we fit in Chelmsford

Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Powered door rules that apply in Chelmsford

Chelmsford 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Essex the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

Can you convert our manual shutter in Chelmsford 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.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Chelmsford?

Yes. Where your insurer asks for a rating such as LPS 1175, we supply a shutter whose manufacturer holds that certification and install it to the certified specification. Check the exact rating your insurer wants before ordering.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Chelmsford?

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.
