Is an old door at your Hereford site costing more in repairs than it is worth? We price replacement alongside repair so you can compare, then handle the whole changeover if replacement makes sense.

Town: Hereford
Postcode district: HR1
Area: Herefordshire
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.
Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.

Typical scopes of work

Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.
Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
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 Hereford?

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.

Access, phasing and timing

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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the survey free for door replacement in Hereford?

Yes. Surveys for replacements are free. We assess the old door and opening, measure for the new door, and quote a fixed price that lists the door, strip-out, disposal and any opening works separately.

Can we change door type when replacing at our Hereford 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.

Should we repair or replace our door in Hereford?

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.
