What we fit in Washington

Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.
Safe strip-out. Springs unwound and the old door dismantled safely.
Minimal downtime. Made-to-measure door ordered first so the swap takes a day.
Commissioning. Safety devices tested, forces measured and instructions handed over.
Right door type. Replace with the same type or move to a door that suits your current needs.

Jobs we can carry out

Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
Replacing a corroded single-skin roller shutter on a trade unit with an insulated roller door and electric operation.
Replacing a busy internal shutter with a high-speed fabric door so the opening is no longer left standing open.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Washington?

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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Tyne and Wear 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.

Industrial door replacement in Washington: your questions

Do you replace doors at multiple sites across Tyne and Wear?

Yes. We replace doors across Tyne and Wear, including planned programmes covering several sites or a whole run of units, phased so that each site keeps operating normally while its doors are being changed.

Can we change door type when replacing at our Washington 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 Washington?

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.
