Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Wellington 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
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.

Industrial door motor replacement in Wellington: your questions
Will our door in Wellington be tested after the motor is changed?
Yes. We set limits, test the brake and manual override, check safety devices and measure closing forces where required, then give you a written record of the work and test results.
Is the motor really the problem with our door in Wellington?
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.
How much does an industrial door motor replacement cost in Wellington?
Our guide price for a replacement motor is £845 to £2,395 ex VAT, supplied and fitted, depending on door size, drive type and whether a new control panel is needed. A diagnostic repair visit in Wellington costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
