How we look after doors in Cheltenham

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
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.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

What this work can involve

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.

Powered door rules that apply in Cheltenham

Cheltenham is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

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.
