Options that matter on site

Wind resistance. Leaves, guides and fixings designed for the wind load on the closed door.
Designed per opening. Each door engineered around the opening size, structure and site wind exposure.
Multi-leaf sliding. Leaves stacking to one or both sides, or into door pockets, with no headroom needed.
Drives and controls. Powered leaves with controls to suit the site, plus a way to move the door if power is lost.
Vertical-lift fabric. Tall openings with little side space can use a fabric door that lifts and folds into a compact stack.

What this work can involve

Coordinating floor rail installation with the groundworks contractor before new large-span door leaves arrive on site.
Installing heavy-duty sectional doors with wind-resistant panels across the frontage of a bus or coach garage.
Adding warning beacons, sounders and photocells to an older powered large-span door as part of a site risk assessment review.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Northampton 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.

How the work is organised

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.
