Town: Accrington
Postcode district: BB5
Area: Lancashire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Foam-filled laths. Each lath has two metal skins with insulating foam between them, so the curtain holds heat far better.
Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.

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

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

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Accrington: your questions

Will an insulated roller door cut heating bills at our Accrington 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.

Can you replace our old roller shutter in Accrington 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 long does insulated roller door installation take in Accrington?

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.
