Industrial roller shutters in Accrington

Quick answer

Industrial roller shutters for warehouses, yards, workshops and stores in Accrington. We survey the opening, recommend the lath, drive and mounting position, then fit and commission the shutter in a day in most cases.

Town: Accrington
Postcode district: BB5
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.

What this work can involve

Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
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 Accrington?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Sites in and around Accrington vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Accrington

Do you repair roller shutters across Lancashire?

Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter across Lancashire, including motors, laths, guides, springs and bottom rails. Repair visits are chargeable and priced in advance; we quote before any larger repair.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Accrington 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 supply security-rated shutters in Accrington?

Yes. Where your insurer asks for a rating such as LPS 1175, we supply a shutter whose manufacturer holds that certification and install it to the certified specification. Check the exact rating your insurer wants before ordering.
