What we fit in Hampton
- Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
- Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
- Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
What this work can involve
- Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
- Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.
- Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Hampton 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
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.

Questions from businesses in Hampton
Which activation would suit our Hampton 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.
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Hampton?
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 Hampton follows a free survey.
Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Hampton?
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.
