What our engineers check and fix

Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Brislington 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
