Postcode district: AL5
Area: Hertfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

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.
Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Harpenden are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Harpenden

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

Does a powered insulated roller door in Harpenden 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 Harpenden 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.
