Options for industrial door installation in Darwen

Drives and controls. Motors sized to the door and controls matched to your traffic, from a key switch to induction loops.
All door types. One installer for every common industrial door, from simple shutters to fire-rated and high-speed doors.
Conformity paperwork. Handover includes the product and machinery conformity documents plus commissioning records.
Loading equipment. The door, leveller, shelter and impact protection are specified together so the whole bay works as one.
Safety set-up. Each motorised door gets the safety devices its risk assessment calls for and is force-tested before use.

Jobs we can carry out

Installing a fire shutter in a compartment wall where a conveyor line passes between production and dispatch areas.
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.

Safety law for industrial doors in England

Industrial doors in Darwen 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.

Keeping your site running during the work

Where a door is being replaced, the opening has to be made secure at the end of each day. We plan strip-out, any new framing and the new door so the gap is never left open overnight unless you have agreed temporary measures.

Frequently asked questions
