Industrial door installation in Gravesend

At a glance

Industrial door installation for warehouses, factories, workshops and trade units in Gravesend. We survey the opening, recommend the door and drive that suit how it is used, and fit, commission and hand it over with full paperwork.

Town: Gravesend

Survey: Free for new installations

What to specify

Fixed price. A written fixed price confirmed after the survey, before any work begins.
Conformity paperwork. Handover includes the product and machinery conformity documents plus commissioning records.
Safety set-up. Each motorised door gets the safety devices its risk assessment calls for and is force-tested before use.
Free survey. We measure and inspect the opening first, so the price reflects your building rather than a guess.
Loading equipment. The door, leveller, shelter and impact protection are specified together so the whole bay works as one.

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.
Specifying and fitting a complete goods-in bay with sectional door, hydraulic dock leveller, retractable shelter and bollards.
Supplying a bottom-rolling sliding door for a wide opening where there is no headroom for a coiled or tracked door.

Powered door rules that apply in Gravesend

Gravesend 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.

How the work is organised

For busy sites in Kent 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.
