What to specify

Loading equipment. Dock levellers, shelters, seals, bollards and guide protection fitted alongside the door.
Safety set-up. Powered doors fitted with safety edges or light curtains and force-tested to BS EN 12453.
Free survey. We measure and inspect the opening first, so the price reflects your building rather than a guess.
Drives and controls. Motors sized to the door and controls matched to your traffic, from a key switch to induction loops.
Fixed price. A written fixed price confirmed after the survey, before any work begins.

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

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

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.

How soon could a new door be installed at our Whitehaven premises?

It depends mainly on the manufacturer's lead time for a made-to-measure door, which we confirm in the quote. Installation is then booked around your operations, and most single doors are fitted and commissioned in a day.

Who signs off a new powered door at our Whitehaven site?

When we assemble or motorise a door, we take on the manufacturer's role under machinery law: risk assessment, testing, conformity marking and the Declaration of Conformity. You then keep the door maintained as the employer or occupier.
