Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Compact coil. Nothing runs back under the roof: the shutter coils up neatly above the lintel.
Safety devices. Motorised shutters get the safety functions their risk assessment needs before handover.
Mounting options. Fixed inside, in the reveal or face-fixed outside with a protective hood.
Security. Locking options for everyday security, and certified rated shutters where insurers ask for them.
Colour finishes. Leave it galvanised or choose a colour that matches the building.

Typical scopes of work

Face-fixing a roller shutter with a steel hood where internal racking leaves no room behind the opening.
Converting hand-chained shutters on a storage unit to electric operation with key-switch controls and safety edges.
Renewing the bottom rail, floor seal and end locks on a roller shutter that jams in its guides.

Powered door rules that apply in Wakefield

Wakefield is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

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

Yes. We repair most makes of roller shutter across West Yorkshire, 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 Wakefield 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.

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.
