What our engineers check and fix

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
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 Hammersmith 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

Service and repair visits in Hammersmith 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.
