What we fit in Ashington

Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
Colour choice. Powder-coated RAL finishes to match cladding and building trims.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Compact coil. No tracks under the roof: the door rolls up into a neat coil above the lintel.

What this work can involve

Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.
Converting a hand-chained insulated roller door to electric operation with a safety edge and photocells.
Supplying insulated roller doors in one matching RAL colour across a terrace of refurbished small business units.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Ashington are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Insulated roller shutter doors in Ashington: your questions

How long does insulated roller door installation take in Ashington?

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.

Does a powered insulated roller door in Ashington 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.

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