Industrial roller shutters in Sittingbourne

The short version

Replacing a tired shutter in Sittingbourne, or converting a manual one to electric? We quote a fixed price in writing after surveying the opening, then fit, test and hand over the door.

Town: Sittingbourne
Postcode district: ME10
Area: Kent
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.

What this work can involve

Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.

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

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.

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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Sittingbourne 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.
