What to specify

Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
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.
Security. Bottom-rail locks and shoot bolts, with LPS 1175 rated products available.

Typical scopes of work

Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.

Powered door rules that apply in Thornaby-on-Tees

Thornaby-on-Tees 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.

How the work is organised

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Industrial roller shutters in Thornaby-on-Tees: your questions

Do you remove old shutters at sites in Thornaby-on-Tees?

Yes. Strip-out and disposal of the old shutter is shown as a separate line in the quote, along with any repairs to the opening. The old door normally comes out as part of the same visit that fits the new one.

Can you convert our manual shutter in Thornaby-on-Tees 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 Thornaby-on-Tees 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.
