What we fit in Ipswich

Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Compact coil. The curtain winds onto a barrel above the opening, leaving floor and roof space free.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.

What this work can involve

Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ipswich 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.

Access, phasing and timing

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Industrial roller shutters in Ipswich: your questions

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Ipswich?

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.

Do you remove old shutters at sites in Ipswich?

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 Ipswich 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.
