What we fit in Kent

Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.
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.
Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.
Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.

Typical scopes of work

Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Kent?

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

Sites in and around Kent vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.

Questions from businesses in Kent

How much does industrial door replacement cost in Kent?

Strip-out and disposal has a guide price of £345 to £1,195 ex VAT per door, plus the new door, for example £2,395 to £5,495 for an electric single-skin roller shutter. We confirm the full fixed price in writing after a free survey in Kent.

How long will our opening in Kent 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.

Can we change door type when replacing at our Kent 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.
