What we fit in Stornoway

Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.
Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.
Right door type. Replace with the same type or move to a door that suits your current needs.

Typical scopes of work

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.
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 Stornoway?

In Scotland, 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

Most installations in Stornoway can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
