Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.

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

In Wales, 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.

Questions from businesses in Risca

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

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 Risca 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.

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Risca?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.
