Industrial door replacement in Putney

Quick answer

Old springs, corroded guides and obsolete motors make some doors in Putney hard to keep running. A planned replacement avoids the next breakdown and leaves you with a door that suits how you work now.

Town: Putney
Postcode district: SW15
Area: Greater London
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.
Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.

Powered door rules that apply in Putney

Putney is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Greater London 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

Can we change door type when replacing at our Putney 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.

Should we repair or replace our door in Putney?

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.

Is the survey free for door replacement in Putney?

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.
