Area: County Durham
Nation: England

Survey: Free for new installations

Options that matter on site

Free survey. We measure and inspect the opening first, so the price reflects your building rather than a guess.
Aftercare. Planned maintenance and repairs available for the doors we fit and most other makes.
Loading equipment. The door, leveller, shelter and impact protection are specified together so the whole bay works as one.
Drives and controls. Direct, centre or chain drive motors with buttons, remotes, loops, radar or interlocks.
Fixed price. You receive the price in writing once the survey is done, and it is agreed before anyone starts work.

Typical scopes of work

Fitting sectional doors, a high-speed internal door and steel personnel doors to a new-build warehouse as one coordinated package.
Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing shutter so the main door can stay open through the working day.
Fitting a freezer door with heated frame and inside release to a new cold room within a food production unit.

Who is responsible for door safety at a site in County Durham?

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

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Your questions about industrial door installation

Is the survey free for sites in County Durham?

Yes, for new installations and replacements. We measure the opening and the space around it, check fixings, power and obstructions, and talk through how the door is used before preparing a written quote. Repair and service visits are charged separately.

How soon could a new door be installed at our County Durham 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.

Roller shutters, insulated roller doors, sectional overhead doors, high-speed doors, fire shutters, sliding and folding doors, hangar doors, cold store doors, steel personnel doors, traffic doors and strip curtains, plus loading bay equipment such as levellers and shelters.
