What the visit covers in Cheshunt

Fault diagnosis. We check whether the motor, panel, supply or door is at fault before replacing anything.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.

Jobs we can carry out

Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Cheshunt 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.

Planning the work around your site

Service and repair visits in Cheshunt are booked around your shifts. Doors and shutters are taken out of use one at a time, so the rest of the site keeps working while each one is checked.
