Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Tyldesley 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

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.

Frequently asked questions

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.

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

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.

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

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.
