All door types. One installer for every common industrial door, from simple shutters to fire-rated and high-speed doors.
Loading equipment. The door, leveller, shelter and impact protection are specified together so the whole bay works as one.

Aftercare. Planned maintenance and repairs available for the doors we fit and most other makes.

What this work can involve

Fitting a freezer door with heated frame and inside release to a new cold room within a food production unit.

Powered door rules that apply in Folkestone

Folkestone is in England, where powered industrial doors fall under Great Britain's health and safety law. Whoever makes a door powered — including converting a manual door — usually takes on the manufacturer's duties under the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008: risk assessment, technical file, conformity marking and a Declaration of Conformity. Once it is in use, the employer or occupier must keep it safe under the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and PUWER 1998.

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.
