What to specify
- Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
- Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
- Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
- Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
- Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
What this work can involve
- Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
- 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.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Gloucestershire?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Gloucestershire vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
