Options for industrial roller shutters in Clacton-on-Sea
- Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.
- Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
- Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
- Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
- Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Jobs we can carry out
- Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
- 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 Clacton-on-Sea?
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
Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
