Options that matter on site
- Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
- Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.
- Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
- Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
- Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.
Typical scopes of work
- Changing a manual sliding door for a new electric sectional door running on low-headroom tracks.
- Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.
- Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Newcastle upon Tyne?
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
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
Is the survey free for door replacement in Newcastle upon Tyne?
Yes. Surveys for replacements are free. We assess the old door and opening, measure for the new door, and quote a fixed price that lists the door, strip-out, disposal and any opening works separately.
How long will our opening in Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
Do you take the old door away from our Newcastle upon Tyne 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.
