Options that matter on site

Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
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.
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.

What this work can involve

Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.
Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.
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 Hitchin?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Frequently asked questions

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

How long does insulated roller door installation take in Hitchin?

Most single doors are fitted and commissioned in a day once the made-to-measure door has arrived. The manufacturer's lead time is confirmed with your quote so you can plan around it.

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

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