How we look after doors in Mitcham

Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.

What this work can involve

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
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 Mitcham?

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.

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.
