Options that matter on site

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. Old doors taken away for recycling or disposal.
Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.

Typical scopes of work

Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
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 Islington?

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
