What to specify

Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Manual or electric. Push-up, chain hoist or motorised operation depending on how often the door opens.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.

What this work can involve

Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.

Powered door rules that apply in Felixstowe

Felixstowe 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Most installations in Felixstowe can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

How much is an industrial roller shutter in Felixstowe?

An electric single-skin steel roller shutter up to about 4 × 4 m has a guide price of £2,395 to £5,495 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. After a free survey in Felixstowe, we confirm a fixed price for your opening in writing.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Felixstowe?

Yes. Where your insurer asks for a rating such as LPS 1175, we supply a shutter whose manufacturer holds that certification and install it to the certified specification. Check the exact rating your insurer wants before ordering.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Felixstowe 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.
