Postcode district: CO10
Area: Suffolk
Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Right door type. Replace with the same type or move to a door that suits your current needs.

Opening repairs. Damaged jambs and heads repaired or new framing fitted.
Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.
Free survey. Existing door, opening and space assessed free of charge.

What this work can involve

Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.
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 Sudbury

Sudbury 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

For busy sites in Suffolk 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.

Usually, yes, subject to headroom, side room and back room. Common upgrades are single-skin to insulated, manual to electric and conventional to high-speed. We check the space and the structure on survey before recommending a door type.

Strip-out and disposal has a guide price of £345 to £1,195 ex VAT per door, plus the new door, for example £2,395 to £5,495 for an electric single-skin roller shutter. We confirm the full fixed price in writing after a free survey in Sudbury.

How long will our opening in Sudbury 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.
