Industrial roller shutters in Lerwick

The short version

Industrial roller shutters for warehouses, yards, workshops and stores in Lerwick. We survey the opening, recommend the lath, drive and mounting position, then fit and commission the shutter in a day in most cases.

Town: Lerwick
Postcode district: ZE1
Area: Highlands and Islands
Survey: By arrangement

Options that matter on site

Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.

Jobs we can carry out

Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Lerwick are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
