Magherafelt shopfront and unit shutters
Legacy timber up-and-overs on family farms failing where daily plant movement wasn't the original design brief.

Temporary security for a Magherafelt unit can be arranged the same day while the shutter is made.
We specify and fit shutters for units, shopfronts and compartment openings across Magherafelt and the wider BT45 area.

Shutter specification for a Magherafelt unit
Around Magherafelt the split is roughly half working farms, half small manufacturers, same visit, two very different door specs. We build that into every Magherafelt survey, not the price sheet.
Most of the commercial work we do around Magherafelt lands inside Aughrim Road Industrial Estate and Magherafelt Business Park. We're on a first-name basis with most of the facilities teams.
Magherafelt sits 39 mi from Belfast and 40 mi from our Dromore yard via the A31.
From risk survey to certified handover
- 1
Risk and compliance survey in Magherafelt
We look at exposure, glazing, insurer requirements and, for fire shutters, the compartment line the shutter must protect.
- 2
Specify curtain and fixing
Lath type, box, guides and structural fixings specified to the opening and the risk, not to a catalogue.
- 3
Install with minimal trading disruption
Most Magherafelt shopfront installs are scheduled outside trading hours so the unit keeps working.
- 4
Test, certify and hand over
Operation tested, fire shutters drop-tested and documented, and maintenance intervals agreed for BT45.

Shutter questions from Magherafelt businesses
Q.Do you cover units around Aughrim Road Industrial Estate?
Yes, Aughrim Road Industrial Estate and the surrounding Magherafelt commercial area are on our regular service routes.
Q.Are they electrically operated?
Most are, with a key switch or internal control, plus a manual override for power failure. Small openings can be manual with a spring balance.
Q.Can shutters be fitted inside the glazing line?
Yes. Internal shutters suit listed and conservation frontages around Magherafelt where an external box would not be accepted.
Q.What is the difference between a security shutter and a fire shutter?
A security shutter resists forced entry. A fire shutter is a rated closure designed to hold a fire compartment for a specified period and is tested and certified as such. They are not interchangeable.
Q.What happens after an attempted break-in?
We attend, secure the opening, then quote repair or curtain replacement. Damaged laths can often be swapped individually rather than replacing the whole curtain.
Q.Do you service shutters you did not install?
Yes, across Magherafelt and the wider BT45 area, including planned maintenance visits on multi-site estates.
