Industrial roller shutters in Preston

Town: Preston
Postcode district: PR1
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
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.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.

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

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.

Planning the work around your site

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
