How we look after doors in Canary Wharf

Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

Examples of work we can quote for

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.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Canary Wharf?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.

Many common motors can be sourced quickly, and fitting usually takes a few hours once the drive is on site. Specialist or obsolete motors may need ordering; we tell you the lead time with the quote.
