What our engineers check and fix

Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
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.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.

Typical scopes of work

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
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 Middleton?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.
