Options that matter on site
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Typical scopes of work
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Winsford 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
Sites in and around Winsford vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Frequently asked questions
Do automated doors in Winsford 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.
Can our door in Winsford be automated?
If the door is in good mechanical order and a suitable motor is available, usually yes. We check balance, springs, cables, guides and the curtain or panels on survey, and recommend repair or replacement first if needed.
Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Cheshire?
Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Cheshire, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
