Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.

What this work can involve

Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Powered door rules that apply in Failsworth

Failsworth 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Industrial roller shutters in Failsworth: your questions

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Failsworth?

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.

Can you convert our manual shutter in Failsworth 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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Failsworth 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.
