Options for industrial roller shutters in Hythe

Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.

What this work can involve

Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.

Powered door rules that apply in Hythe

Hythe 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

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.

Industrial roller shutters in Hythe: your questions

Can you convert our manual shutter in Hythe 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.

Do you remove old shutters at sites in Hythe?

Yes. Strip-out and disposal of the old shutter is shown as a separate line in the quote, along with any repairs to the opening. The old door normally comes out as part of the same visit that fits the new one.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Hythe?

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.
