Options that matter on site

Disposal. Old doors taken away for recycling or disposal.
Right door type. Like-for-like or an upgrade to suit how the opening is used now.
Ongoing servicing. New door added to a maintenance schedule from year one.
Minimal downtime. The new door is ready before the old one comes out, keeping downtime short.
Opening repairs. Any damage to the opening is put right so the new door fixes securely.

What this work can involve

Swapping a standard shutter for a security-rated door installed exactly to the manufacturer's certified specification.
Removing a rotted timber frame and fitting new steel jambs before installing a replacement roller shutter.
Phasing the replacement of several loading doors so only one bay is out of use at a time.

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

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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

Can we change door type when replacing at our Littlehampton 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.

How long will our opening in Littlehampton 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 Littlehampton 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.
