What we fit in South Glamorgan
- Fabric doors. PVC-coated fabric roll-up doors for internal routes and sheltered external openings.
- Breakaway bottom bars. If a truck catches the door, the bottom bar breaks away rather than bending the frame.
- Self-repairing curtains. Many fabric doors re-feed into the guides after an impact on the next cycle.
- Light curtains. Full-height safety light curtains in the frame stop the door closing on anything.
- Vision panels. See-through panels let drivers and pedestrians spot each other before the door opens.
What this work can involve
- Replacing a worn fabric curtain, bottom bar and drive belt on a door logging thousands of cycles a week.
- Cutting induction loops on both sides of a high-speed door so forklifts trigger it but pedestrians do not.
- 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 South Glamorgan?
In Wales, 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.
How the work is organised
Most installations in South Glamorgan can be phased so part of the site keeps working. We agree access routes, exclusion zones and any temporary security with you before the team arrives, and can work early mornings, evenings or weekends where the business needs it.
