What the visit covers in Hoddesdon
- Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
- Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
- Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
- Matched drives. Motor torque, speed and mounting matched to the door's weight and size.

What this work can involve
- Fitting an equivalent chain-drive motor with adapter plates to a large sectional door whose original drive is discontinued.
- Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
- Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Hoddesdon?
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.
How the work is organised
On a first visit we record each door's make, size, control type and condition. That record makes later repairs quicker to price and helps you plan replacements before a door fails.
