What we fit in Wigan

Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
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.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.

Jobs we can carry out

Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Wigan?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Most installations in Wigan can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Industrial roller shutters in Wigan: your questions

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Wigan?

Yes. Where your insurer asks for a rating such as LPS 1175, we supply a shutter whose manufacturer holds that certification and install it to the certified specification. Check the exact rating your insurer wants before ordering.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Wigan 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 Wigan 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.
