Options for industrial door replacement in Watford

Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.
Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.

Examples of work we can quote for

Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.

Powered door rules that apply in Watford

Watford 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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Questions from businesses in Watford

Can we change door type when replacing at our Watford 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 Hertfordshire?

Yes. We replace doors across Hertfordshire, 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.

Do you take the old door away from our Watford site?

Yes. Strip-out includes removing the old door, springs, guides and drive from site for recycling or disposal. It is priced as a separate line in the quote so you can see exactly what removal costs.
