The short version

Tight headroom, cluttered ceiling, still need a warm door? For units in Heston (TW5), we can install insulated roller doors that coil neatly above the opening and leave the roof space completely clear.

Town: Heston
Postcode district: TW5
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and anti-fall devices fitted as the risk assessment requires.
Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.

Typical scopes of work

Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.
Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.

Powered door rules that apply in Heston

Heston 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.

Planning the work around your site

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

Does a powered insulated roller door in Heston 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.

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Heston 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 Heston 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.
