What we fit in Billericay
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
- Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Typical scopes of work
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Powered door rules that apply in Billericay
Billericay 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Billericay
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Billericay?
Our guide price for a manual-to-electric conversion is £1,195 to £3,195 ex VAT, including motor, control panel, basic controls and commissioning. Extra controls and safety devices are priced separately, and your fixed price in Billericay follows a free survey.
Can our door in Billericay 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.
Which activation would suit our Billericay site?
It depends on who uses the door. Buttons suit staff, remotes suit drivers, pull cords and loops suit forklifts, and radar suits mixed traffic. We look at your traffic on survey and recommend a set-up.
