Options for industrial roller shutters in the Highlands and Islands

Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
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.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Powered door rules that apply in the Highlands and Islands

The Highlands and Islands is in Scotland, 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

Sites in and around the Highlands and Islands 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.
