How we look after doors in Cardiff

Re-commissioning. The door is fully re-commissioned and tested before it goes back into use.
Panel upgrades. New control panels with monitored safety inputs and inverter options.
Obsolete motors. Equivalent drives with adapters where the original model is no longer made.
Written records. A record of the work and tests for your maintenance file.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

Typical scopes of work

Changing a tubular motor in a small service shutter that overheats and trips during busy periods.
Diagnosing a stalling roller shutter to confirm whether the motor, a broken spring or the control panel is at fault.
Replacing a motor with a slipping brake on a heavy shutter that creeps down from a part-open position.

Safety law for industrial doors in Wales

Industrial doors in Cardiff 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.

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.
