Typical scopes of work

Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

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

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 Heywood

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

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.

Is the motor really the problem with our door in Heywood?

Not always. Broken springs, damaged guides, failed panels, safety device faults and supply problems can all look like a failed motor. We diagnose first so you do not pay for a motor that will not fix the fault.

Do you replace motors on any make of door across Greater Manchester?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across Greater Manchester, whoever installed them, subject to a suitable drive being available for the door's weight and mounting.
