How we look after doors in Billericay

Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

What this work can involve

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

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Billericay 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.
