Options that matter on site

Electric drive. Tubular or external geared motors with a manual override for power cuts.
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. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
Safety devices. Every powered door gets the safety functions its risk assessment calls for and is tested before handover.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a compact insulated service door to a plant room to reduce the noise reaching neighbouring offices.
Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
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 Galashiels?

In Scotland, 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

Your questions about insulated roller shutter doors

Does a powered insulated roller door in Galashiels 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.

Do you repair insulated roller doors across the Scottish Borders?

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

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