How we look after doors in Orpington
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
- 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.
Jobs we can carry out
- Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
- Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Orpington 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
Service and repair visits in Orpington 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.
