Options for industrial roller shutters in Sunderland

Mounting options. We mount the shutter wherever it fits most easily, including outside with a hood over the coil.
Manual or electric. Hand-operated for occasional use, electric for anything opened through the working day.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing perforated shutters across a covered loading area so the space stays ventilated and visible when locked.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Sunderland 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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Sunderland vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Industrial roller shutters in Sunderland: your questions

Do you remove old shutters at sites in Sunderland?

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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Sunderland 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.

Do you repair roller shutters across Tyne and Wear?

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