Options that matter on site

Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.
Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Tyne and Wear 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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Industrial roller shutters in Tyne and Wear: your questions

Do you repair roller shutters across the North East?

Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter across the North East, including motors, laths, guides, springs and bottom rails. Repair visits are chargeable and priced in advance; we quote before any larger repair.

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Tyne and Wear?

Once the made-to-measure shutter arrives, most single doors are fitted and commissioned in a day. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote, and installation is booked around your opening hours.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Tyne and Wear 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.
