Options that matter on site

Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.

Typical scopes of work

Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Waltham Abbey?

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

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.

Questions from businesses in Waltham Abbey

How much is an industrial roller shutter in Waltham Abbey?

An electric single-skin steel roller shutter up to about 4 × 4 m has a guide price of £2,395 to £5,495 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. After a free survey in Waltham Abbey, we confirm a fixed price for your opening in writing.

Can you convert our manual shutter in Waltham Abbey 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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Waltham Abbey 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.
