Town: Abergavenny
Postcode district: NP7
Area: Gwent
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.
Manual-to-electric. Conversions for sectional, roller and sliding doors in good order.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Interlocks. Doors linked to each other, to levellers or to the alarm so they work in the right sequence.
Traffic lights. Signals show drivers when the door is fully open and warn when it moves.

Jobs we can carry out

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Fitting induction loops and an inverter control panel so forklifts can open a busy internal door without stopping.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Abergavenny 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

Most installations in Abergavenny 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.

Door automation and controls in Abergavenny: your questions

Do automated doors in Abergavenny need more maintenance?

Powered doors need their motors, controls and safety devices checked as well as the mechanical parts, so at least an annual service is common practice, more often for busy doors. Servicing visits are chargeable; the survey for an automation job is free.

Can you add interlocks or traffic lights to doors around Gwent?

Yes. We fit airlock interlocks, door-to-leveller interlocks, traffic lights and warning beacons to new and existing doors across Gwent, subject to compatibility with the control panels already fitted, and replace panels where they cannot accept the extra inputs.

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

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 Abergavenny follows a free survey.
