What we fit in Bootle
- Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
- Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
- Refurbishment. Older hangar doors renewed with new wheels, guides, drives and cladding.
- Safety systems. Large doors move a lot of mass, so warning and detection devices are built in from the start.
- Load path. We decide with your structural engineer whether the slab or the structure carries the door's weight.
Jobs we can carry out
- Recladding the leaves of a large sliding door with a corrosion-resistant finish suited to an exposed site.
- Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.
- Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bootle?
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.
Access, phasing and timing
Sites in and around Bootle 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.
