What we fit in Plymouth

Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Devon the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Plymouth: your questions

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Plymouth 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.

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Plymouth 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.

Does a powered insulated roller door in Plymouth 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.
