Industrial door replacement in Dunoon

In short

Old springs, corroded guides and obsolete motors make some doors in Dunoon hard to keep running. A planned replacement avoids the next breakdown and leaves you with a door that suits how you work now.

Town: Dunoon
Postcode district: PA23
Area: Argyll and Bute
Survey: By arrangement

What to specify

Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.
Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.
Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.

Jobs we can carry out

Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.
Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Dunoon?

In Scotland, two sets of duties meet at a powered door. The installer who supplies or motorises it must hand over a door that meets the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008, tested against BS EN 12453 and documented. The business in control of the premises must then maintain it: regulation 5 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 covers maintenance, and regulation 18 requires upward-opening doors to have a device that stops them falling back and powered doors to have features that prevent trapping.

How the work is organised

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Industrial door replacement in Dunoon: your questions

Should we repair or replace our door in Dunoon?

If the door has several faults, recurring problems or parts that are no longer made, replacement is often better value. We price repair and replacement side by side so you can decide on cost and remaining life.

How long will our opening in Dunoon be out of use?

The new door is made to measure before the old one is removed, so a single door is usually stripped out and replaced in a day, with the opening secured again by the end of the visit.

Is the survey free for door replacement in Dunoon?

Yes. Surveys for replacements are free. We assess the old door and opening, measure for the new door, and quote a fixed price that lists the door, strip-out, disposal and any opening works separately.
