What we fit in Colne

Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.

Powered door rules that apply in Colne

Colne 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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Frequently asked questions

Can you convert our manual shutter in Colne 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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Colne 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 Colne?

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.
