Options for industrial door replacement in South Shields

Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
Ongoing servicing. We can service the new door from the start so its history begins on day one.
Disposal. We take the old door away so there is nothing left on site to deal with.
Safe strip-out. Tensioned springs and heavy parts are removed by trained engineers.
Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.

Examples of work we can quote for

Stripping out a sectional door with broken springs and an obsolete motor, and fitting a new door with an inverter drive.
Replacing vehicle-damaged roller shutters on a block of small industrial units between tenancies.
Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in South Shields 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.

Planning the work around your site

If your premises are leased, check whether the landlord needs to approve the work. We can provide drawings and product data for the landlord or managing agent before the order is placed.

Frequently asked questions

Do you take the old door away from our South Shields 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.

Can we change door type when replacing at our South Shields unit?

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.

Is the survey free for door replacement in South Shields?

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.
