What we fit in Bishop Auckland

Self-repairing curtains. After a knock, many curtains reset themselves automatically instead of waiting for an engineer.
Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Spiral doors. Aluminium slats that never touch as they run, giving speed, insulation and security in one door.
Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.

Typical scopes of work

Installing an insulated spiral door as the main external opening on a temperature-controlled distribution unit.
Interlocking two high-speed doors as an airlock between a clean production area and the general warehouse.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Bishop Auckland?

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

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.
