Town: Morecambe

Guide price: £845 – £2,395

What's included

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
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.
Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.
Re-commissioning a sectional door once a new motor is fitted, including new limit settings and closing force tests.
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 Morecambe?

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

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.
