Town: Welwyn Garden City
Postcode district: AL8
Area: Hertfordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Wind locks. On exposed elevations, wind locks hook the laths into the guides so gusts cannot push the curtain out.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.

What this work can involve

Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Installing an insulated roller door with induction loop activation on a busy internal forklift route.
Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Welwyn Garden City?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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 Welwyn Garden City: your questions

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Welwyn Garden City 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.

Is there enough headroom for an insulated roller door at our Welwyn Garden City 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.

Yes. We repair damaged laths, motors, guides and seals on most makes of insulated roller door across Hertfordshire. Repair visits are chargeable, and planned servicing helps catch wear before a breakdown.
