What we fit in Ilford
- Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Designed per opening. No off-the-shelf sizes: every large door is designed for its building and location.
- Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Examples of work we can quote for
- 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.
- Fitting a vertical-lift fabric door to a tall vehicle maintenance shed where adjoining buildings take up the side space.
Safety law for industrial doors in England
Industrial doors in Ilford 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.
Planning the work around your site
Sites in and around Ilford vary from tight trade counters to large distribution yards. The survey records access for our vehicle and platform, overhead obstructions and floor condition so the installation day runs without surprises.
