What we fit in Gravesend
- Pressure relief. We check pressure relief so a tightly sealed room does not suck the door shut.
- Inside release. An emergency release on the inside face so nobody can be shut in.
- Tight seals. Compressible gaskets pressed against the frame as the door closes.
- Heated frames. Heater cables in freezer door frames stop ice welding the seals shut.
- Electric sliding. Powered sliding doors that open on demand and close automatically, with full safety devices.

- Fitting freezer-grade PVC strip curtains behind cold store doors that stand open during loading.

Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Gravesend are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.
Planning the work around your site
Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
