Options for industrial door replacement in Birkenhead

Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.
Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.
Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.

What this work can involve

Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.

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

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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Merseyside the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.
