What to specify
- Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
- Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.
- Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
- Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
- Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Typical scopes of work
- Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
- Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
- Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Powered door rules that apply in Farnborough
Farnborough 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Farnborough vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Does an electric roller shutter at our Farnborough 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 Farnborough 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.
Can you supply security-rated shutters in Farnborough?
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.
