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

Options that matter on site
- Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.
- Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
- Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
- Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.
- Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.
Jobs we can carry out
- Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.
- Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
- Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Devon?
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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Most installations in Devon can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about industrial door replacement
Is the survey free for door replacement in Devon?
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.
How long will our opening in Devon 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.
Can we change door type when replacing at our Devon 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.
