Options that matter on site

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.

What this work can involve

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
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 Westhoughton 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
