What to specify

Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
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.

Examples of work we can quote for

Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.
Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Gateshead are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

Keeping your site running during the work

Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Your questions about industrial door replacement

Do you take the old door away from our Gateshead 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.

Should we repair or replace our door in Gateshead?

If the door has several faults, recurring problems or parts that are no longer made, replacement is often better value. We price repair and replacement side by side so you can decide on cost and remaining life.

How long will our opening in Gateshead 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.
