Options for industrial roller shutters in Rutland
- Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
- Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
- Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
- Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
- Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
What this work can involve
- Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
- Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
- Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Rutland?
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
For busy sites in the East Midlands 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.
