What to specify

Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.

Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.

What this work can involve

Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
Fitting an insulated roller door to a trade counter unit where sprinkler mains leave no room for sectional door tracks.
Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.

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

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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Greater London 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.

Questions from businesses in Bow

Does a powered insulated roller door in Bow 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.

How much does an insulated roller shutter door cost in Bow?

Our guide price for an electric insulated roller door up to about 4 × 4 m is £3,195 to £7,495 ex VAT, supplied and fitted. We survey your Bow opening free of charge and then put a fixed price in writing.

Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Bow 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.
