What to specify

Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.
Compact coil. The curtain coils above the opening, leaving ceilings free for lights and sprinklers.
Controls. From a simple button station to loops and radar, the controls match how often the door opens.
Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.

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

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

For busy sites in Kent the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Folkestone: your questions

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

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Folkestone 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 Folkestone?

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