What to specify

Manual override. Powered shutters keep a chain or handle override so they open without power.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Colour finishes. Plain galvanised or powder-coated to a RAL colour.
Steel curtains. Galvanised steel laths in gauges to suit the width and the level of abuse expected.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.

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.
Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Supplying a security-rated roller shutter, installed to the certified specification, to meet an insurer's requirement for a high-value stockroom.

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

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.

How the work is organised

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.
