Typical scopes of work
- Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
- Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.
- 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 Droylsden?
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
Most installations in Droylsden 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.
