How we look after doors in Congleton

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Congleton 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

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.

Will our door in Congleton be tested after the motor is changed?

Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.
