What we fit in Shirley

Inverter drives. Soft start and stop protect the curtain and drive at high cycle rates.
Vision panels. Clear vision strips or windows so drivers can see through the closed door.
Fabric doors. Lightweight roll-up curtains that suit most internal doorways and many protected external ones.
Spiral doors. Rigid insulated slats on a spiral for fast, secure, wind-resistant external doors.
Light curtains. Sensors along the side frames watch the whole opening and keep the door open while it is occupied.

Typical scopes of work

Setting up radar with cross-traffic suppression so a door on a busy aisle opens only for approaching traffic.
Fitting a self-repairing fabric door between production and dispatch where a conventional shutter stands open all shift.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing sectional door so the outer door can stay open during the shift.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in Shirley?

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.

Planning the work around your site

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.
