Choices for Farms, Food Units and Quarry Yards
Outside the centre, looks matter less. Instead, owners want strength, warmth and a door that keeps working in all weather.
Industrial Roller Shutter Doors in Wells
Industrial Roller Shutter Doors in Wells: Shops to Farm Sheds
Two very different kinds of business share Wells. In the old streets near the cathedral, small shops and cafés need a door that looks right and still stops thieves. Out on the edge of the city, farms, food units and quarry yards need a door that takes a hard knock. So, anyone looking for Industrial Roller Shutter Doors in Wells needs a firm that understands both. Industrial Roller Shutter Doors handles the whole job, from the first drawing to the last repair visit. We build the shutter at our own works, our fitters hang it, and our callout engineers keep it running. Also, our teams travel to every county in England, plus Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Industrial Shutter Choices for the City Centre
Shops in central Wells sit among some of the oldest buildings in Somerset. For this reason, a heavy, solid shutter often looks wrong here. Luckily, there are better options.
First, Check Planning Rules
Much of central Wells falls inside a conservation area. Because of this, a new outside shutter on a shop front may need planning consent from the council. Before you order, speak to the planning team.
If you need an industrial roller shutter door installation, repair or maintenance, then give us a call. Our highly experienced and qualified engineers are always ready to assist you.
Option A: Open-Style Tube-Operated Shutter
This shutter has up to 75% open design. As a result, it protects the shop but does not hide it.
- People still see your window display at night
- Light and fresh air pass through
- The colour can match your shop sign
- Good for gift shops, galleries, bakeries and cafés
Option B: Security Grille Door
A grille gives you a lighter look than a full shutter. Here are four models to pick from:
- IRSD 700 – folds away to the side, with a multi-point lock
- IRSD 900 – single or double door, runs quietly on a hanging system
- IRSD 950 – steel shields cover the lock points
- IRSD 1000 – heavy frame, plus an emergency escape option
Cold Stores and Food Rooms: 95mm Insulated Chain Drive
Food makers need a steady temperature inside. Therefore, this shutter uses insulated steel laths to hold heat or cold where it belongs.
- Cuts heat loss in winter
- Blocks outside noise from lorries and plant
- Steady chain drive for large openings
- Good for chilled stores, packing rooms and farm shops
Dusty Yards: PVC Strip Curtains Behind the Shutter
Quarries and building yards around the Mendip Hills throw up a lot of dust. Fortunately, strip curtains stop most of it at the door.
- Dust and fumes stay out of clean rooms
- Forklifts drive straight through
- Staff see who is coming on the other side
- Birds and pests stay out of barns and feed stores
Heavy Doors: Pick a Motor With Built-In Safety
Big steel doors need a motor that cannot let them drop. So, we often fit one of these:
- GFA Safedrive – the anti-fall part sits inside the gear itself
- Gaposa direct drive – a three-phase motor with a safety brake and digital limits, built to EN 12453
What Changes the Price of Your Industrial Roller Shutter?
We make every door to order, so prices vary from job to job. However, these six things decide most of the cost:
- Size – a wider or taller opening needs more slats
- Material – steel or aluminium
- Drive – manual, single-phase or three-phase motor
- Warmth – single skin or insulated laths
- Security – from SR1 up to SR4
- Extras – wicket door, vision panels, smart controls or fire rating
For a faster quote, send us a photo of the opening, its width and height, and how many times a day you open it.
After-Care for Roller Shutter Doors in Wells and Mendip
A new shutter is only half the story. After fitting, we suggest a service at least twice a year. During each visit, our engineer cleans the tracks, oils the moving parts and tests the motor and safety stops. In addition, our 24/7 team fixes breakdowns on any make of shutter, not just ours. We cover Glastonbury, Street, Shepton Mallet and Cheddar too, along with the rest of the UK.
