What can you expect in Ipswich?
We aim to fit the survey around your opening hours in Ipswich, and we also cover Harwich and Felixstowe. You get the same written quotation wherever the shop is.
What makes the difference?
What about a fire exit?
A shutter must never trap people in. If it covers an escape route, it needs to be open while the premises are occupied, or opened easily from inside.
Do I need a safety edge?
That depends on the risk assessment. Powered shutters near the public are assessed against BS EN 12453, and we quote what the result calls for.
What electrics are needed?
A power supply near the box, installed by a qualified electrician. We show the position on the drawing.
