Town: Caerphilly
Postcode district: CF83
Area: Mid Glamorgan
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Matched motors. The motor type and size are chosen for the door's weight, space and cycle count.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.
Activation options. Buttons, key switches, remotes, pull cords, loops, radar and access control.

Jobs we can carry out

Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.
Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Caerphilly 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Questions from businesses in Caerphilly

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Caerphilly?

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.

Do automated doors in Caerphilly 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 Mid Glamorgan?

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