What the visit covers in Ryde

Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Brake and override. Brakes tested and manual override checked on every change.
Panel upgrades. Older panels can be replaced at the same time for better reliability and safety.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

Examples of work we can quote for

Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Fitting a centre-mounted motor where an end-mounted replacement would clash with racking beside the door.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

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

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.
