What we fit in Maesteg

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop with faster opening for high-cycle doors.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Manual override. Chain or crank override so doors open during power cuts.
Interlocks. Airlocks, door-to-leveller and fire alarm interfaces.
Manual-to-electric. Hand-operated doors converted to power, with the paperwork a powered door needs.

Examples of work we can quote for

Adding traffic lights and warning beacons to a yard door shared by lorries and pedestrians.
Linking loading bay doors to dock leveller controls so levellers deploy only when the doors are fully open.
Adding radar with cross-traffic suppression to a door on a busy aisle so passing trucks do not open it.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Maesteg 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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.

Door automation and controls in Maesteg: your questions

How long does a door automation job take in Maesteg?

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.

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Maesteg?

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.

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

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 Maesteg follows a free survey.
