What we fit in Ashton-in-Makerfield

Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.
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.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Ashton-in-Makerfield?

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.

How the work is organised

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
