What we fit in Whitley Bay

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.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.

What this work can involve

Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.
Replacing a vehicle-damaged shutter in a trade yard with a heavier-gauge curtain and guide-rail protection.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Whitley Bay?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Questions from businesses in Whitley Bay

How quickly can a roller shutter be fitted in Whitley Bay?

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.

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.

Does an electric roller shutter at our Whitley Bay 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.
