Door automation and controls in Greenford

At a glance

Tired of hand-chaining a heavy door open at your Greenford unit? A manual-to-electric conversion saves time every shift, and we handle the safety devices and conformity paperwork that come with it.

Town: Greenford
Postcode district: UB6
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Safety devices. Safety edges, photocells and light curtains, force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Manual override. A manual means of opening is always kept, so the door is never stuck shut without power.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.

Jobs we can carry out

Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor to a roller shutter where a side wall leaves no room at the barrel end.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Greenford 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.

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.

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.
