What our engineers check and fix

Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Brake and override. The new drive holds the door securely and can still be opened by hand in a power cut.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Where it applies, we measure closing forces to confirm the door is safe after the change.

What this work can involve

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.
Upgrading an old relay control panel to a modern unit with monitored safety edge inputs during a motor change.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Uppingham 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

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.
