Options for industrial roller shutters in Prescot

Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
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.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.

Jobs we can carry out

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Prescot are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Merseyside the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
