How we look after doors in Surbiton

Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.

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

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.

Questions from businesses in Surbiton

How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Surbiton?

Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in Surbiton costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.

Should we replace the whole door instead of the motor in Surbiton?

If the door itself is old, damaged or needs several other repairs, replacement can be better value. We price both where it makes sense, so you can weigh up the cost and remaining life honestly.

Will our door in Surbiton be tested after the motor is changed?

Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.
