What we fit in Dorchester

Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.
Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing an insulated roller door with induction loop activation on a busy internal forklift route.

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

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

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.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Dorchester: your questions

Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Dorchester unit?

The coil on an insulated curtain is larger than on a single-skin shutter, so we measure the space above the lintel on survey. Where headroom is very tight, the coil can sometimes be fitted outside the opening or a lower-profile option chosen.

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