What we fit in Colchester

Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.

Jobs we can carry out

Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.

Powered door rules that apply in Colchester

Colchester 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

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.
