Options that matter on site

Right door type. Replace with the same type or move to a door that suits your current needs.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.

Typical scopes of work

Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.

Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.

Powered door rules that apply in Farnworth

Farnworth 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

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.
