Options that matter on site

Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.
Manual override. If the power fails, the shutter can still be wound open by hand.

What this work can involve

Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.

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

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

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.

Your questions about industrial roller shutters

Can you convert our manual shutter in Jarrow 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 Jarrow 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.
