Industrial door replacement in Canary Wharf

Quick answer

Replacing a door at a unit in Canary Wharf (E14) is a chance to upgrade: insulated instead of single skin, electric instead of manual, or high-speed where the opening is busy.

Town: Canary Wharf
Postcode district: E14
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.
Safe strip-out. Springs unwound and the old door dismantled safely.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.

What this work can involve

Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.
Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Canary Wharf?

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.
