Industrial door replacement in Chelmsford

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Chelmsford 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Essex 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.

Questions from businesses in Chelmsford

Do you replace doors at multiple sites across Essex?

Yes. We replace doors across Essex, including planned programmes covering several sites or a whole run of units, phased so that each site keeps operating normally while its doors are being changed.

Do you take the old door away from our Chelmsford site?

Yes. Strip-out includes removing the old door, springs, guides and drive from site for recycling or disposal. It is priced as a separate line in the quote so you can see exactly what removal costs.

Should we repair or replace our door in Chelmsford?

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.
