Survey: By arrangement

What we fit in Lerwick

Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day 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.

Typical scopes of work

Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.

Powered door rules that apply in Lerwick

Lerwick is in Scotland, 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 the Highlands and Islands 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.

Industrial door replacement in Lerwick: your questions

Do you replace doors at multiple sites across the Highlands and Islands?

Yes. We replace doors across the Highlands and Islands, 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.

Can we change door type when replacing at our Lerwick 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.

How long will our opening in Lerwick be out of use?

The new door is made to measure before the old one is removed, so a single door is usually stripped out and replaced in a day, with the opening secured again by the end of the visit.
