The short version
Insulated roller shutter doors for heated workshops, trade units and vehicle bays in Hornchurch. We survey the opening, check there is headroom for the coil and fit an electric door that keeps the warmth in and the weather out.

What to specify
- Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
- Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
- Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.
- Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
- Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
- Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
- Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
Powered door rules that apply in Hornchurch
Hornchurch 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.
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.
