Town: Urmston
Postcode district: M41
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.
Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.
Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.

Jobs we can carry out

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.
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 Urmston?

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

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.
