Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Inverness 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

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.

Frequently asked questions

Do you replace motors on any make of door across the Highlands and Islands?

We replace motors on most makes of roller shutter, sectional, sliding and high-speed door across the Highlands and Islands, 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 Inverness?

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 Inverness?

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.
