What this work can involve
- Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.

- Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Wallsend 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.
Access, phasing and timing
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.
