Industrial door replacement in Torquay

In short

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

Town: Torquay
Postcode district: TQ2
Area: Devon
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Safe strip-out. Springs unwound and the old door dismantled safely.
Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.
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.

What this work can involve

Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.
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 Torquay?

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.

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

How long will our opening in Torquay 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.

Should we repair or replace our door in Torquay?

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.

Can we change door type when replacing at our Torquay 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.
