Options for industrial roller shutters in Broadstairs

Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.

Powered door rules that apply in Broadstairs

Broadstairs 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Kent 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.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Broadstairs?

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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Broadstairs 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 Broadstairs 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.
