Town: Oban
Postcode district: PA34
Area: Argyll and Bute
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.

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

In Scotland, 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Oban with an insulated one?

Yes. We recommend a complete new door rather than a new curtain on old parts, and include strip-out and disposal in the quote so the old shutter goes when the new one is fitted.

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Oban premises?

It loses much less heat than a single-skin shutter, especially with good seals and quick electric operation. How much you save depends on your building, heating system and how long the door stays open.

Does a powered insulated roller door in Oban need safety devices?

If the door closes automatically or can trap someone, yes. The risk assessment decides what is needed, typically a safety edge, photocells and closing forces tested to BS EN 12453, plus anti-fall protection on heavier curtains.
