Options that matter on site

Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.
Disposal. Old doors taken away for recycling or disposal.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Safe strip-out. Springs unwound and the old door dismantled safely.
Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.

What this work can involve

Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.

Powered door rules that apply in Harpenden

Harpenden 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Hertfordshire 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.
