Industrial door replacement in Maidstone

Town: Maidstone
Postcode district: ME14
Area: Kent
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Commissioning. Each new door is tested and handed over with the documents it needs.
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.
Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.

What this work can involve

Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
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 Maidstone?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
