Industrial door replacement in Chatham

The short version

Old springs, corroded guides and obsolete motors make some doors in Chatham hard to keep running. A planned replacement avoids the next breakdown and leaves you with a door that suits how you work now.

Town: Chatham
Postcode district: ME4
Area: Kent
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.
Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
Safe strip-out. Springs unwound and the old door dismantled safely.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.

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.
Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.

Powered door rules that apply in Chatham

Chatham 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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
