What we fit in Canning Town
- Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
- 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.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.

Examples of work we can quote for
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.
- Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Powered door rules that apply in Canning Town
Canning Town 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
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.
Guide prices
| Item | Guide price (ex VAT) |
|---|---|

Guide prices for supply and installation unless stated, excluding VAT, which is added at the current rate where it applies. Your fixed price is confirmed in writing after a survey, before any work starts.
Your questions about door automation and controls
Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Greater London?
Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Greater London, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Canning Town?
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.
How long does a door automation job take in Canning Town?
A straightforward conversion is usually completed and commissioned in a day. Loops, interlocks and traffic lights add time, and we plan the work so the door is out of use for as little time as possible.
