Industrial door replacement in Wickford

The short version

Replacing a door at a unit in Wickford (SS12) is a chance to upgrade: insulated instead of single skin, electric instead of manual, or high-speed where the opening is busy.

Town: Wickford
Postcode district: SS12
Area: Essex
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.
Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.

What this work can involve

Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.

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

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.

How the work is organised

Sites in and around Wickford 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.

Frequently asked questions

Should we repair or replace our door in Wickford?

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.

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.

How long will our opening in Wickford 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.
