Options that matter on site

Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.

Typical scopes of work

Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Atherton 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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Does an electric roller shutter at our Atherton 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 Atherton 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 Atherton?

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.
