Options that matter on site

Drives and controls. Direct, centre or chain drive motors with buttons, remotes, loops, radar or interlocks.
Aftercare. Planned maintenance and repairs available for the doors we fit and most other makes.
Free survey. Opening, headroom, obstructions, fixings and power all measured before we quote.

Powered door rules that apply in Whitstable

Whitstable 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Downtime matters on a working site, so the programme is set around your shifts. For a single door the opening is usually needed for a day; multi-door jobs are done one bay at a time so deliveries keep moving.
