Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Greenwich 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.
Keeping your site running during the work
Electrical work is the part that most often delays a job. If a new or converted door needs a supply, we confirm the motor's requirement at quote stage so your electrician can provide an isolator in the right place before installation day.

Hangar and large-span doors in Greenwich: your questions
Do you service large doors across Greater London?
Yes. We service and repair hangar and large-span doors across Greater London, including running gear, drives, controls and safety devices. Service and repair visits are chargeable and quoted before work starts.
Which hangar door type would suit our building in Greenwich?
It depends on headroom, side space, structure and how often the door moves. Sliding doors need side space, vertical-lift fabric doors need headroom, and large sectional doors suit big but not extreme openings. We recommend after survey.
Do you work on hangar door projects with our engineer in Greenwich?
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.
