Area: Tyne and Wear
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Wind locks. Lath end locks for exposed or wide doors to stop the curtain blowing out.
Foam-filled laths. Double-skin laths with a polyurethane core cut heat loss compared with single skin.
Weather seals. Brush or rubber guide seals and a rubber bottom seal against draughts and rain.
Electric drive. Motor inside the barrel or on its end, with a chain or handle so the door still opens without power.
Colour choice. Choose a colour to suit your building, with a matching hood over the coil if wanted.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a corroded single-skin shutter on a heated workshop with an insulated roller door and radio remote control.
Adding wind locks and a heavier geared motor to a wide insulated roller door on an exposed elevation.
Renewing worn guide brushes, the head seal and the bottom-rail seal on an insulated roller door that lets in draughts.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Sunderland 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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Sunderland vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

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 Sunderland 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.
