Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.

Jobs we can carry out

Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.

Powered door rules that apply in Wokingham

Wokingham is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Access, phasing and timing

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Door automation and controls in Wokingham: your questions

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Wokingham?

Yes. When we convert a door to power, we carry out the risk assessment, test the door and issue the Declaration of Conformity and user instructions, as the person who has made it a machine.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Berkshire?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Berkshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

Do automated doors in Wokingham need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.
