What we fit in Mitcham
- Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
- Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
- Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
- Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.
- Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
- Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
- 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 Mitcham 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in Mitcham can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Questions from businesses in Mitcham
How much does it cost to make a door electric in Mitcham?
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 Mitcham follows a free survey.
Which activation would suit our Mitcham 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 long does a door automation job take in Mitcham?
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.
