Options that matter on site

Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
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.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.

What this work can involve

Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.

Powered door rules that apply in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire 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.

Access, phasing and timing

For busy sites in the East of England the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Industrial roller shutters in Hertfordshire: your questions

Can you convert our manual shutter in Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire 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 supply security-rated shutters in Hertfordshire?

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.
