What we fit in Greater London

Safety systems. Edge protection, photocells, warning lights, sounders and interlocks.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.

What this work can involve

Refurbishing manual large-span sliding doors with new bottom wheels, top guides and an electric drive unit on each leaf.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Greater London?

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.

Planning the work around your site

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.
