What our engineers check and fix

Re-commissioning. Limits set, cycles tested and safety devices checked before handover.
Obsolete motors. When a motor is discontinued, we fit a suitable alternative and adapt the mounting.
Written records. You receive written details of the new drive and test results for your records.
Force testing. Closing forces measured to BS EN 12453 where the door closes under power.
Fault diagnosis. Diagnosis comes first, so you only pay for the parts the door actually needs.

Powered door rules that apply in Bury St Edmunds

Bury St Edmunds 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.

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.
