Options for industrial roller shutters in Letchworth Garden City

Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
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

Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Letchworth Garden City?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

Does an electric roller shutter at our Letchworth Garden City 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 Letchworth Garden City 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 Letchworth Garden City?

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.
