Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.

Examples of work we can quote for

Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.

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

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

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.
