Insulated roller shutter doors in Sidcup

The short version

Insulated roller shutter doors for heated workshops, trade units and vehicle bays in Sidcup. 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.

Town: Sidcup
Postcode district: DA14
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.

What this work can involve

Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.
Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.

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

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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Sidcup: your questions

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

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

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 Sidcup opening free of charge and then put a fixed price in writing.
