The short version
Is an old door at your Ampthill site costing more in repairs than it is worth? We price replacement alongside repair so you can compare, then handle the whole changeover if replacement makes sense.
- Town
- Ampthill
- Postcode district
- MK45
- Area
- Bedfordshire
- Survey
- Free for new installations
Options that matter on site
- Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.
- Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
- Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
- Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
- Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.
What this work can involve
- Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.
- 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.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Ampthill 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
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.

Frequently asked questions
Do you replace doors at multiple sites across Bedfordshire?
Yes. We replace doors across Bedfordshire, including planned programmes covering several sites or a whole run of units, phased so that each site keeps operating normally while its doors are being changed.
Can we change door type when replacing at our Ampthill unit?
Usually, yes, subject to headroom, side room and back room. Common upgrades are single-skin to insulated, manual to electric and conventional to high-speed. We check the space and the structure on survey before recommending a door type.
How long will our opening in Ampthill 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.
