What we fit in the Scottish Borders
- Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
- Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices on powered shutters.
- Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
- Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Jobs we can carry out
- Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
- Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
- Fitting a galvanised roller shutter to a new bin store or recycling compound, with a lockable bottom rail.
Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland
Industrial doors in the Scottish Borders 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Industrial roller shutters in the Scottish Borders: your questions
Can you convert our manual shutter in the Scottish Borders 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 the Scottish Borders 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.
Do you remove old shutters at sites in the Scottish Borders?
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.
