What to specify

Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.

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 run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Stornoway 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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Does an electric roller shutter at our Stornoway 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.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Stornoway?

Once the made-to-measure shutter arrives, most single doors are fitted and commissioned in a day. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and installation is booked around your opening hours.

Do you repair roller shutters across the Highlands and Islands?

Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter across the Highlands and Islands, including motors, laths, guides, springs and bottom rails. Repair visits are chargeable and priced in advance; we quote before any larger repair.
