What we fit in Hemel Hempstead

Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.
Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Hemel Hempstead?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Hemel Hempstead: your questions

Does a powered insulated roller door in Hemel Hempstead 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.

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Hemel Hempstead 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.

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