How we look after doors in Leytonstone

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.

What this work can involve

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
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.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
