What to specify

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.
Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Steel curtains. Heavier lath gauges for wide or exposed doors; lighter profiles where space and budget are tight.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Replacing a run of rusted shutters on a block of trade units, finished in one matching RAL colour.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Gateshead?

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Industrial roller shutters in Gateshead: your questions

Do you remove old shutters at sites in Gateshead?

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 Gateshead 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.

Can you supply security-rated shutters in Gateshead?

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.
