What to specify

Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.

Typical scopes of work

Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.

Powered door rules that apply in Swanley

Swanley 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Swanley can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
