Options for industrial door replacement in Dorchester

Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.
Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.

What this work can involve

Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.

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

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

Sites in and around Dorchester vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
