What to specify

Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
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 Gillingham

Gillingham 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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Industrial roller shutters in Gillingham: your questions

Does an electric roller shutter at our Gillingham 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 Gillingham 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.
