Industrial door installation in Atherton

Quick answer

Facilities and site managers in Atherton can use one contractor to specify, install and commission industrial doors and the loading equipment around them, so one team is responsible for the whole opening.

Town: Atherton
Postcode district: M46
Area: Greater Manchester
Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Loading equipment. The door, leveller, shelter and impact protection are specified together so the whole bay works as one.
Conformity paperwork. Declaration of Performance, Declaration of Conformity and user instructions on handover.
Safety set-up. Each motorised door gets the safety devices its risk assessment calls for and is force-tested before use.
All door types. One installer for every common industrial door, from simple shutters to fire-rated and high-speed doors.
Free survey. Opening, headroom, obstructions, fixings and power all measured before we quote.

What this work can involve

Adding a high-speed fabric door inside an existing shutter so the main door can stay open through the working day.
Specifying and fitting a complete goods-in bay with sectional door, hydraulic dock leveller, retractable shelter and bollards.
Phasing the replacement of several loading bay doors over consecutive weekends so goods-in stays open during the week.

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

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

Before work starts we send a method statement and risk assessment, confirm who on site will be our contact and agree where materials and access equipment will go. On shared industrial estates that can mean booking yard space with the landlord.
