Professional Installation Service

When you choose our installation service, we manage the entire process.

This typically includes:

• Pre-installation site survey
• Confirming measurements and fixing substrates
• Manufacturing the product to the correct specification
• Delivery and installation
• Electrical wiring and control setup
• Safety checks and commissioning
• Final handover and operational guidance

This ensures the product is installed safely and operates correctly from day one.

Professional installation involves much more than simply fitting the product.

Many of the costs involved are necessary to ensure the work is carried out safely, legally and to the correct standard.

Fully insured installation teams

Professional installers must carry comprehensive insurance, including:

• Public liability insurance
• Employer’s liability insurance
• Product liability insurance

These policies protect both the customer and the installer in the unlikely event of an accident or damage during installation.

Health and safety compliance

Installation teams working on construction sites must comply with strict health and safety regulations.

This includes:

• Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)
• Working at height procedures
• Manual handling assessments
• Safe use of lifting equipment

Compliance with these regulations is essential for commercial projects and construction sites.

Pre-installation site surveys

One of the most important parts of the process is the site survey.

Before manufacturing begins, our team confirms:

• Structural opening sizes
• Headroom and side room availability
• Fixing substrates
• Electrical supply locations
• Installation access

This helps avoid manufacturing errors and ensures the product fits the opening correctly.

Incorrect measurements are one of the most common causes of installation problems with supply-only systems.

Specialist equipment and lifting tools

Large shutters and industrial doors can weigh hundreds of kilograms and often require specialist equipment to install safely.

Installation teams may use:

• Scissor lifts
• Genie lifts
• Hoists and lifting frames
• Specialist fixing tools

This equipment allows installations to be completed safely and efficiently.

Electrical setup and commissioning

Many modern shutters and doors require electrical setup and commissioning.

This includes:

• Wiring motors and control panels
• Installing safety devices such as photocells or safety edges
• Setting motor limits
• Testing emergency override systems
• Connecting fire shutters to fire alarm systems

Incorrect setup can cause operational problems or safety risks.

Compliance with regulations and standards

Professional installers ensure the installation complies with relevant regulations and standards.

These may include:

• Machinery Directive requirements
• Safety requirements for powered doors
• Fire safety requirements for fire shutters
• Electrical regulations

Correct commissioning ensures the system operates safely and meets compliance requirements.

Choosing professional installation provides several advantages.

Correct installation first time

Experienced installers understand the common issues that occur during installation and know how to avoid them.

This significantly reduces the risk of:

• installation errors
• operational problems
• unnecessary delays

Faster installation

Professional installers have the experience and equipment required to complete installations efficiently.

What may take a DIY installer several days can often be completed by professionals in a matter of hours.

Reduced risk of damage

Incorrect installation can damage shutters, motors or control systems.

Professional installers ensure the equipment is assembled and commissioned correctly to prevent damage.

Proper commissioning and testing

After installation, the system is fully tested to ensure it operates safely and correctly.

This includes checking:

• smooth operation of the curtain or door
• motor limits
• safety devices
• electrical controls

Peace of mind

Many customers choose professional installation simply for peace of mind.

Knowing the product has been installed by experienced professionals can provide reassurance that the system will operate reliably.

Professional installation is particularly recommended for:

• Large roller shutters
• Industrial doors
• Fire shutters
• Security rated doors
• Installations requiring electrical control systems
• Commercial or high-traffic environments

These systems require correct installation to ensure safe operation.

Our engineers have extensive experience installing security shutters, doors and grilles across a wide range of environments including:

• Retail premises
• Industrial buildings
• Warehouses
• Commercial offices
• Residential properties

We work closely with builders, contractors and property owners to ensure the installation runs smoothly and meets project requirements.

If you are considering installing the product yourself, we also offer supply only options with installation guides and telephone support.

However, for many customers, professional installation offers the fastest and most reliable solution.

Manufacturers and contractors typically recommend professional installation because it helps ensure:

• products operate safely and reliably
• warranty conditions are maintained
• safety systems function correctly
• installations comply with regulations

Incorrect installation can affect both performance and safety, which is why many complex door and shutter systems are installed by trained professionals.
