What the visit covers in Prestwich
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
- Matched drives. Each replacement drive is selected for the door it will move, not just the old part number.
- Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
- Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a burnt-out direct-drive motor on a loading bay door and fitting an inverter control panel at the same time.
- Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.
- 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 Prestwich 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Testing and repairs can mean closing an opening, so we agree timing and access with you before the visit, including early, late or weekend slots where the site needs them.
