Door automation and controls in Camberley

The short version

We can automate sectional doors, roller shutters and sliding doors in Camberley and across Surrey, choosing direct, centre or chain-drive motors and the activation method that suits the traffic using each door.

Town: Camberley
Postcode district: GU15
Area: Surrey
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Activation options. Choose how the door is opened, from staff buttons to automatic vehicle detection.
Matched motors. Direct, centre-mounted, chain-drive or tubular motors sized to the door.
Inverter drives. Frequency inverters move busy doors faster while cutting wear on every cycle.
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.

What this work can involve

Converting hand-chained sectional doors to electric operation with push-button controls, safety edges and photocells.
Replacing an obsolete control panel with a modern unit, then re-testing the safety devices and closing forces.
Installing an airlock interlock between two high-speed doors so only one can be open at a time.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Camberley 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Questions from businesses in Camberley

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

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 Camberley follows a free survey.

Do you take responsibility for the conformity paperwork in Camberley?

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 Camberley 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.
