What we fit in Gateshead

Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Weather seals. Seals along the guides, head and bottom rail stop wind-driven rain and cold air getting in.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.
Controls. Buttons, key switches, remotes, induction loops or radar to suit your traffic.
Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.

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

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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Tyne and Wear 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.

Your questions about insulated roller shutter doors

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

How much does an insulated roller shutter door cost in Gateshead?

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

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