How we look after doors in Belfast
- Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
- Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
- Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
- Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Jobs we can carry out
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Powered door rules in Northern Ireland
Belfast is in Northern Ireland, where workplace safety is regulated by HSENI under the Health and Safety at Work (Northern Ireland) Order 1978. The Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 and PUWER (Northern Ireland) 1999 require occupiers to keep powered doors safe and maintained. Under the Windsor Framework, EU machinery rules and CE marking continue to apply to powered doors placed on the market here, with the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/1230 applying from 20 January 2027.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
