Typical scopes of work

Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Helensburgh 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

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.
