Options for industrial door replacement in Walkden

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.
Right door type. Replace with the same type or move to a door that suits your current needs.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.

Typical scopes of work

Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.
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 Walkden?

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

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.

Industrial door replacement in Walkden: your questions

Should we repair or replace our door in Walkden?

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.

Can we change door type when replacing at our Walkden 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 replace doors at multiple sites across Greater Manchester?

Yes. We replace doors across Greater Manchester, including planned programmes covering several sites or a whole run of units, phased so that each site keeps operating normally while its doors are being changed.
