Options that matter on site
- Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.
- Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
- Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.
- Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.
- Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
Examples of work we can quote for
- Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
- Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
- Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Woodford Green?
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
Most installations in Woodford Green can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Your questions about industrial door replacement
Can we change door type when replacing at our Woodford Green 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.
Do you take the old door away from our Woodford Green site?

Is the survey free for door replacement in Woodford Green?
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.
