What we fit in Stranraer

Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.
Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.

Safety law for industrial doors in Scotland

Industrial doors in Stranraer 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.

Planning the work around your site

For busy sites in Dumfries and Galloway the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about industrial door replacement

Should we repair or replace our door in Stranraer?

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 Stranraer 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.

Is the survey free for door replacement in Stranraer?

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.
