Options that matter on site

Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Vertical-lift fabric. Reinforced fabric curtains with wind bars that fold up beneath the lintel.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.

Jobs we can carry out

Surveying and specifying a very wide sliding or folding door for a building that houses large plant and machinery.
Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in South Benfleet?

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

Most installations in South Benfleet can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.

Yes. We coordinate loads, fixings, floor rails and steelwork with your structural engineer and main contractor so the door and the building are designed together, and we agree a programme before manufacture.
