Town: Margate
Postcode district: CT9

Options that matter on site

Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
Free survey. We inspect the old door and measure the opening at no cost before quoting.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.

What this work can involve

Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.

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

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

Most installations in Margate 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.
