What to specify

Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
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.

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.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Folkestone?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
