Town: Bow
Postcode district: E3
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.

Examples of work we can quote for

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

Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bow?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.
