Area: Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.

Typical scopes of work

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Inverurie 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.

Access, phasing and timing

Service and repair visits in Inverurie are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
