Industrial door replacement in Hythe

The short version

Old springs, corroded guides and obsolete motors make some doors in Hythe hard to keep running. A planned replacement avoids the next breakdown and leaves you with a door that suits how you work now.

Options that matter on site

Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Disposal. Old doors taken away for recycling or disposal.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.

Powered door rules that apply in Hythe

Hythe 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

For busy sites in Hampshire the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
