What to specify

Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
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.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.

What this work can involve

Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.

Powered door rules that apply in Cheltenham

Cheltenham 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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Does an electric roller shutter at our Cheltenham 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.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Cheltenham?

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.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Cheltenham?

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.
