What the visit covers in Barking

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
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 Barking 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.

How the work is organised

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.
