Industrial roller shutter doors in Chester: questions
How often should an industrial door be serviced?
Most busy doors are serviced every six months, quieter doors annually, so the safety devices and motor are checked regularly.
Should I choose insulated or single-skin?
Insulated if the building is heated or you get condensation; single-skin steel for unheated stores, farms and compounds.
Is the survey free in Chester?
For new shutters, yes. Repair visits in Chester are charged because they include diagnosis and work on the day.
Do I need permission for industrial roller shutter doors in Chester?
It depends on the property. New doors on industrial buildings can need planning permission if they change the elevation, and doors in fire compartment walls must suit the fire strategy. Check with your local council before ordering; we can supply drawings.
