Powered door rules that apply in Weston-super-Mare

Weston-super-Mare is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Frequently asked questions

Can you replace an obsolete door motor in Weston-super-Mare?

Yes. Where the original is no longer made, we fit an equivalent drive with any adapter plates or couplings needed, then set limits and test the safety devices before the door goes back into use.

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.

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 Weston-super-Mare costs £145 to £195 ex VAT.
