What we fit in Stratford

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.
Safety devices. Every automated door gets the detection its risk assessment needs, tested before use.
Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Stratford?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

Planning the work around your site

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.

How much does it cost to make a door electric in Stratford?

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 Stratford follows a free survey.

Which activation would suit our Stratford 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.

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.
