Town: Macclesfield
Postcode district: SK11
Area: Cheshire
Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What our engineers check and fix

Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

Jobs we can carry out

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Macclesfield?

In England, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

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.
