What we fit in Finchley

Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
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.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.

What this work can involve

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Finchley are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

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.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

Does an electric roller shutter at our Finchley 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 Finchley 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.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Finchley?

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.
