Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Service and repair visits in Rayleigh are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
