Options for industrial roller shutters in Acton

Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.

Powered door rules that apply in Acton

Acton 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

For busy sites in Greater London the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Industrial roller shutters in Acton: your questions

Do you remove old shutters at sites in Acton?

Yes. Strip-out and disposal of the old shutter is shown as a separate line in the quote, along with any repairs to the opening. The old door normally comes out as part of the same visit that fits the new one.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Acton 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.

Can you convert our manual shutter in Acton 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.
