Industrial door replacement in Herne Bay

The short version

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

Town: Herne Bay
Postcode district: CT6
Area: Kent
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.
Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.

What this work can involve

Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Herne Bay?

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 Herne Bay 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.

Industrial door replacement in Herne Bay: your questions

Is the survey free for door replacement in Herne Bay?

Yes. Surveys for replacements are free. We assess the old door and opening, measure for the new door, and quote a fixed price that lists the door, strip-out, disposal and any opening works separately.

How long will our opening in Herne Bay 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.

Do you take the old door away from our Herne Bay 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.
