Industrial door replacement in Kendal

In short

Replacing a door at a unit in Kendal (LA9) is a chance to upgrade: insulated instead of single skin, electric instead of manual, or high-speed where the opening is busy.

Town: Kendal
Postcode district: LA9
Area: Cumbria
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.
Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.

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.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.

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

In England, 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

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.
