Options that matter on site

Safety set-up. Each motorised door gets the safety devices its risk assessment calls for and is force-tested before use.
Drives and controls. Direct, centre or chain drive motors with buttons, remotes, loops, radar or interlocks.
Conformity paperwork. Declaration of Performance, Declaration of Conformity and user instructions on handover.
All door types. Roller shutters, insulated roller, sectional, high-speed, fire, sliding, hangar and cold store doors.
Aftercare. Once fitted, we can service the door on a schedule and repair it, along with doors from other installers.

Typical scopes of work

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.
Fitting sectional doors, a high-speed internal door and steel personnel doors to a new-build warehouse as one coordinated package.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Darlington are covered by the same rules as the rest of Great Britain. On handover you should receive user instructions and, for a powered door, the conformity paperwork, because the installer is treated as the manufacturer when they assemble or motorise it. Afterwards, keeping the door in efficient working order is the occupier's job under the Workplace Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998, which in practice means regular servicing and a written log.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in County Durham the work can be split across visits — preparation and framing first, door installation and commissioning second — so the opening is only out of action for the shortest time.

Your questions about industrial door installation

How soon could a new door be installed at our Darlington 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.

Do you service and repair industrial doors across County Durham?

Yes. We repair and maintain the doors we install and most other makes across County Durham. Repair and service visits are chargeable, and a planned maintenance schedule can be set up once the new door is in.

Can you replace an old door at our Darlington unit and take the old one away?

Yes. Strip-out and disposal of the old door is priced as a separate line, along with any new framing or making good the opening needs. We confirm these details at survey so nothing is left to agree on the day.
